Cousin Serena had never seen her; but I was not afraid to have her do so, unpromising object for one's charitable sympathies though she certainly was, for, the more helpless and repulsive-looking, the more would cousin Serena's tender heart warm toward her.
When we reached cousin Serena's, a little arnica and some French bonbons healed Daisy's wounds, both mental and physical; but when happiness and peace were once more restored, and she was seated upon Miss Craven's lap, with Allie beside her, and the box of chocolates between them, cousin Serena herself was discovered to be in a state of no small flutter and excitement.
If I did not feel certain practically certain that I could give her a good home and all that goes with it, I should not have presumed to speak to her, or to you, concerning marriage. My business prospects are good, or I think they are. The captain held up his hand. "Er er John," he said, uneasily, "maybe you'd better tell about that part of it when Serena's around.
I think I am beginning to hope that YOUR worries are almost over." She kissed him and hurried out before he could collect his senses sufficiently to ask what she meant. He did ask her at their next meeting, but she only smiled and would not tell him. The next morning Serena's first remark was concerning the election, which was to take place that evening.
But you can't have clutters in pots and pans at Aunt Barbara's, can you, and your works going on? Serena won't like it, and she can be quite terrible, you know!" "Come on board and look at her," said Mr. Leicester, regardless of the terrors of Serena's disapproval.
Therefore it was well to keep the fact of her own superior refinement well in view. In the case of good George Lovegrove this was, however, a work of supererogation. For he had a, to himself, positively embarrassing respect for Serena's gentility embarrassing because at moments it came painfully near endangering the completeness of his consideration for "the wife's feelings."
Leicester put down the guitar at last, and said that he had an errand to do, and that Betty had better come along. "Can't you sit still five minutes, either of you?" maliciously asked Aunt Barbara, who had quite regained her breath. "I really did not know how cozy this corner was. I must say that I had forgot to associate it with anything but Serena's and my putting away blankets in the spring.
She will have endeavoured to soothe her wounded feelings by putting spiders on Sybil, changing Serena's book, mislaying Madame's alderman, which is neither more nor less than the name Gatty has given that great fat pencil with which Madame marks their books, and rat-ta-ta-tals them up when they are looking dull and stupid." Mother. "Don't come without her, however, for she is the strongest.
Serena's shawl was pinned neatly about her shoulders. She sat alone on the back seat of the wagon, for Jonathan had said that it would ride better not to be too heavy behind and therefore Betty was keeping him company in front, of which scheme Serena had her own secret opinion. The piece-bags took up a large part of the spare seat.
But I cannot be a witness of what I so strongly disapprove." William Glazzard who saw nothing amiss in his brother's choice of a wife, and was greatly relieved by the thought of Serena's property would readily have gone to the church, but it was decided, in deference to the bride's wish, that Ivy should come in his stead. Ivy had felt herself neglected lately.
