There is no use in quarrelling with your relations, and Susan, the moment she looked at my poor turned skirt it is shiny, is it not, Miss Sharston? she spoke about that trunk of clothes which is to arrive next week. She turned to the charming Miss Keys, and asked her to collect them." "And you stood it, mother; you really stood it," said Florence, the colour coming and going on her face.
Before he could utter a word she sprang to a centre table, and took up a copy of the Argonaut. "You are interested in Miss Aylmer. Have you read her story the first story she has ever published?" she asked. "No," he replied; "is it there?" "It is. The reviews are praising it. She will do very well as a writer." Kitty Sharston and her father appeared at that moment.
But she was winning success: the world was smiling at her just because she was successful, and she resolved to go on now, defying fate. She wrote often to her mother and to Kitty Sharston, and told both her mother and Kitty of her successes. She never wrote to Bertha except about business.
All lessons, except those in connection with the Scholarship, were suspended so far as Mary Bateman, Kitty Sharston, and Florence Aylmer were concerned. The trial essays, the essays which were to be the supreme test of merit, were all written, and in sealed envelopes were handed in to Mrs. Clavering. Meanwhile exercises on history, French, German, arithmetic, were the order of the hour.
Last term I was poor and had shabby clothes, and no one thought a great deal of me, but in some ways I feel less happy now than I did last term. Last term, for instance, I was very fond of Kitty Sharston and I liked Mary Bateman, but there are moments now when I almost hate both of them."
Maurice must make up his mind to propose to Miss Sharston almost immediately afterwards. He can follow them to Southsea, where they have taken a house for the winter." Mrs. Aylmer was quite cheerful as she thought over this. "We will have a grand wedding in the spring," she said to herself, "and Kitty shall come and live with me. I need not keep Bertha Keys when Kitty is always in the house.
Clavering and he were the closest friends. "Ah, my dear madam," he said, bowing now in his somewhat old-fashioned way, and then extending his hand to the good lady, "I am so glad to see you at home. How are you and how are the girls?" "Oh, very well, Sir John." "But you look a little bit worried; what is wrong?" "Well, the fact is, one of my girls, Kitty Sharston "
Now, if I could only introduce them! Florence and Kitty Sharston are on the beach Mr. Trevor is going down to the beach. I'll go and take a walk. It is a fine evening, and it will do me good." No sooner had this thought come to Mrs. Aylmer than she bustled into the kitchen. "Well, ma'am," said Sukey, in a cross voice, "have you washed up the tea-things yet?
"Poor little girl," she said to herself, "and she does not know the worst, nor half the worst, for I had a long letter from Major Sharston this morning, and he told me that not only was he obliged to go to India, but that he had lost so large a sum of money that he could not afford to keep Kitty here after this term.
"Don't prevaricate; you know perfectly well to whom I allude." "Miss Sharston? She is far too good, far too sweet to have her name bandied between us. I decline to discuss her." "You must discuss her. You can do so with all possible respect. Kitty Sharston is to be your wife, Maurice." "She will never be my wife," he replied.
