Severance's business; and he was forced, in consequence, to give up house-keeping At that time, I did not know that the Physiological Society was ready to lend me money; and was therefore in great distress. I never experienced so bitter a day as that on which Mrs. Severance told me that I could stay with her no longer.
It was conducted by the proprietress of a fashionable reducing gymnasium, who was allowed, as this was a comparatively unimportant feature, to supply the text subject to Severance's touching-up ingenuity; but the models were devised and posed by Capron.
Adelaide's conduct had been, as far as he could see, irreproachable; but, then, so had Severance's. This was what had made the gossip, almost the scandal, of the thing. Even his sister Alberta had whispered to him that if Severance had been unfaithful to Adelaide But poor Severance had not been unfaithful; he had not even become indifferent.
"You may in time even educate them up to a standard of decency where they won't demand the sort of thing we're giving them now. But our present business with the news columns is to catch them for you to educate." "Quite so! You lure them into the dive where I wait to preach them a sermon." After that conversation Banneker definitely decided that Severance's activities must be curbed.
Through a mishap, I arrived on Saturday night, instead of in the morning; and, being unwilling to disturb Mrs. Severance at so late an hour, went first to a hotel. But what trials I had there! No one could understand me; until at last I wrote on a slate my own name and Mrs. Severance's, with the words, "A carriage," and "To-morrow."
Severance's first concern appeared to be to make himself popular. In the anomalous position which he occupied as representative between two mutually jealous departments, this was no easy matter.
The second meal was infinitely gayer on the surface though a certain kind of strainedness a little like the strainedness in the pauses of a perfectly friendly football game when both sides are too evenly matched to score ran through it. Still, whatever strainedness there was could hardly have been Mrs. Severance's fault.
Ted's voice has really become quite clinical. "Oh very well. They don't count when you only have them once just when they keep coming back and back to you isn't that it?" "I believe so." Mrs. Severance's eyes waver a little her mouth seeking for the proper kind of dream. "It's not much but it comes quite regularly the most punctual, old-fashioned-servant sort of a dream.
Severance's voice in his ear, "The kitchen fire-escape " saw her push Ted toward him as if she were shifting a piece of cumbrous furniture, and obeyed her orders implicitly because he was too surprised to think of doing anything else. He hurried himself and the still half-somnambulistic Ted through the dining-room curtains, just in time to catch a last glimpse of Mrs.
And her daughter's a mighty pretty girl not that I think much of these blouses that are cut so low and all." "Oh, I wouldn't dare " Mother stopped short. Quiet as they were, they could distinctly hear the voices from the other room. The Carter girl she who was known as "Pig Carter" at Miss Severance's school was snapping, "What in the world ever made you come to this frightful hole, mama?"
