Two months later Selma, as secretary of the sub-committee of the Institute selected to oppose before the legislature the bill to create an appointed school board, had further occasion to confer with Mr. Lyons.
"The instant I saw your face I knew you were here to flirt with Miss Gordon." "Oh, no, Miss Hastings," protested Selma with quaint intensity of seriousness, "I assure you he was not flirting. He was telling me about the reform movement he and his friends are organizing." "That is his way of flirting," said Jane. "Every animal has its own way and an elephant's way is different from a mosquito's."
At the next, which occurred a fortnight later, Pauline announced that she had a piece of interesting news. "Do you know a Mr. Joel Flagg in Benham?" "I know who he is," said Selma. "I have met his daughter." "It seems he has made a fortune in oil and real estate, and is desirous to build a college for women in memory of his mother, Sarah Wetmore.
How they could guess that she wanted a copy of Tennyson's poems, she couldn't think, but she would always keep the book and prize it because her dear pupils had given it to her. And just as Selma Morgenroth called out to the monitor, Charley Freer, who sat in Miss Crutchers chair, while she was absent: "Teacher!
"Yes the police are on guard to protect fraud and to drive us away from the polls. And the courts are open but not for us." David was gentle with her. "I know how sincere you are, Selma," said he. "No doubt you believe those things. Perhaps Dorn believes them, also from repeating them so often. But all the same I'm sorry to hear you say them." He tried to look at her.
This criticism appealed to Selma, and consoled her in a measure for the half mortification with which she had begun to realize that she was not of so much account as she had expected; at least, that there were people not very far distant from her block who were different somehow from her neighbors, and who took part in social proceedings in which she and her husband were not invited to participate.
She has spoiled me and now she deserts me at the critical moment of my life. Selma, you shall have the most charming modern house in New York within my means. It must be love in a cottage, but the cottage shall have the latest improvements hot and cold water, tiles, hygienic plumbing and dados." "Bravo!" said Pauline. "He says I have spoiled him, Selma. Perhaps I have. It will be your turn now.
At least that you could. I shall return in an hour at the latest with a nurse who was trained for three years in a hospital to fit her to battle for valuable lives." Selma flushed with annoyance. She felt that she was being ridiculed and treated as though she were an incapable doll.
You're pretty and smart and superficial and er common, and you don't know it. I'm rather dreadful, but I'm learning. I don't believe you will ever learn. There! Now I'm going." "Go!" cried Selma with a wave of her arm. "Yes, I am one of those women. I am proud to be, and you have insulted by your aspersions, not only me, but the spirit of independent and aspiring American womanhood.
Through its middle ran a long table occupied by the Committee on Education to which the bill had been referred. Among the dozen or fifteen persons who appeared in support of the bill Selma perceived Mrs. Hallett Taylor, whom she had not seen since her return. She was disappointed to observe that Mrs. Taylor's clothes, though unostentatious, were in the latest fashion.
