"I declare, upon my word, Kitty, you are the most extraordinary creature. How am I to face the good ladies?" "Here they are, father. Please, Miss Sherrard, come in; father will see you, and Miss Worrick too." Kitty flung open the door, and the head-mistress of Middleton School and her subordinate found it closed behind them. They had a short interview with Squire Malone very short.
"Once Miss Sherrard knows I am certain she will help me," thought Kitty, "though I don't want to excuse myself; yet I know that a great deal of the blame of my proceedings will be lifted from my shoulders to Elma's. Why should I go through all the suffering, and Elma sit there looking so calm, and quiet, and still?"
You have laughed at the distress of other women, Mr. Sherrard. Do not think that I am blind. I have watched you, and I know more concerning your love affairs of the past than you ever dream. So please leave Blairglas as soon as you can with decency excuse yourself, and keep away from me in future." "But really, Dorise !" he cried, advancing towards her. "I mean exactly what I say. Let me get back.
Let us both go to Miss Sherrard this morning, and tell her that it is all no use; Kitty Malone was born wild, and wild she will remain to the end of the chapter. Let me go home; please let me go home." "My poor child, I must not yield to you," said Mrs. Denvers. "You have been sent to us to be made " "Oh, don't begin it," cried Kitty.
More than once he and she had held consultation concerning the proposed marriage, and more than once Sherrard had been on the point of withdrawing from the contest for the young girl's heart. But her mother was never tired of bidding him be patient, and saying that in the end he would obtain his desire.
Had not Dorise told him of the sly hints her mother had recently given her regarding a certain very wealthy man named George Sherrard, an eligible bachelor who lived in one of the most expensive flats in Park Lane, and who was being generally sought after by mothers with marriageable daughters.
"I am certain Miss Sherrard will be very angry," said Bessie. "Had you really better, Gwin?" "I certainly had better. I am not afraid of Miss Sherrard, nor twenty Miss Sherrards, when I think I have a righteous cause. She does not know Kitty as well as I know her. Ah, here you are," she said as, the Hodgsons, two rather dowdy, but affectionate girls, came quickly into the room.
"I have something on my own account to say to Miss Sherrard," answered Kitty in a proud voice; "something which will explain a good deal." "I am glad to hear it; but I scarcely think any words of yours can remove the stigma on your character. But come; I have no time to argue with you further." Miss Worrick now led the way into Miss Sherrard's little sitting-room.
You look quite mysterious." "I forgot I had never mentioned it to you. They have sent her to Coventry; Miss Sherrard has done it. We are none of us to speak to her for a week." "Whew!" said Fred, rounding his lips for a prolonged whistle. "Well, that won't bother Kitty much; I don't suppose talking to you would be much of a loss to her." "But you don't understand, Fred.
Behind them was the silent watcher, the tall man who had followed Dorise when she had made her secret exit from the house wherein the gay dance was till in progress. An empty seat was near, and with one accord the lovers sank upon it, Hugh still holding the girl's soft hand. "I must really go," she said. "Mother will miss me, no doubt." "And George Sherrard, too?" asked her companion bitterly.
