She will have claw-meat; it is claw-meat with her, sure enough; and if anybody else gets it first, or the dish goes round the other way and is all picked over, she looks! Why, she looks as if she desired the prayers of the congregation, and nobody would pray!" "What are you two laughing at?" broke in Kate Sencerbox, leaning over from her table beyond. "Bel Bree, where are your crimps?"
"We might some of us have overwork, I should think; shouldn't you?" she asked, blandly, of Miss Bree. Aunt Blin smiled. "They've been squabbling over it these five minutes," she replied. Aunt Blin was sure of some particular finishing, that none could do like her precise old self. Kate Sencerbox jumped up impatiently, reaching over for some fringe.
It's the knowing what's proper that sets people really up; it never puts them down!" "There's one thing," said Kate Sencerbox. "You might be parlor people all your days, and not get into everybody's parlor, either. There's an up-side and a down-side, all the way through, from top to bottom.
"I could go for them right off. What time do you have tea?" Really, Asenath Scherman had never acted in a charade where her cues were so unexpected. "I wonder if I'm getting mixed up again," she thought. "Which is the cook?" Of course a cook never would have offered to go out and order muffins and oysters. Mrs. Scherman could not have asked it of the parlor-maid. Kate Sencerbox relieved her.
And I should like to have the kitchen in my charge. I feel responsible for the home-iness of it, for I started the plan." With that covert suggestion and encouragement, she stopped, leaving the lead to Kate again. Kate Sencerbox was as earnest as a judge. "How much to the others?" said she. "Three dollars each." "That's ten dollars a week.
"Now, Kate Sencerbox, shut up!" said Bel Bree, turning round upon her, after the first comprehensive glance, as Kate came in last, and closed the door. Kate put her muff down on the bed, folded her hands meekly, and looked at Bel with a mischievous air that said plainly enough "Ain't I?" and which she would not falsify by speech. "Yes, I know you are; but stay shut up!
There is a little bit about Bel Bree and Kate Sencerbox and the Schermans, which belongs somewhat earlier than that, in those few pleasant days when March was beguiling us to believe in the more engaging of his double moods, and in the possibility of his behaving sweetly at the end, and going out after all like a lamb. We can turn back afterwards for that.
We know what homes are worth. And wouldn't some of them think the millennium was come? I am going to try it." Bel stopped. She did not think of such a thing as having made a speech; she had only said a little just as it came of what she was full of. "You'll get packed in with a lot of dirty servants. You won't have the home. You'll only have the work of it." "No, Kate Sencerbox.
"Wouldn't I just like to walk in here some day, and order old Tonker round?" said Elise, disregarding. "I only hope she'll hold out till I can! Won't I have a black silk suit as thick as a board, with fifteen yards in the kilting? And a violet-gray, with a yard of train and Yak-flounces!" "That isn't my sort," said Kate Sencerbox, emphatically. "It's played out, for me.
The house is on the lower side; there must be good windows." "I'll go right round for Kate, and we'll just call and see. I don't know in the least how to begin about it when I get there. I could do the thing, if I can make out the first understanding. I hope Kate won't be very Kate-y!" She said so to Miss Sencerbox when she found her. "You needn't be afraid. I'm bound to astonish somebody.
