A silk-lined, Paris-made wool dress rustled close beside her, and she put out one of the slender hands without turning her head. "Mother, dear," said she, as a little silver-haired old lady took it and came and leaned against her tall girl's shoulder, "haven't we had enough of the `Foerst-haus zu Trauerbach?" "Not until a certain girl, who danced away her color at Cannes, begins to bloom again."
The next portrait was that of the silver-haired old lady whom Marjorie had thought so crooked and bowed. She saw now why her shoulders were bent. It was because of the mass of memories she carried, memories gathered through a long and useful life. Her silver hair made a halo about her head. "The next is yours," breathed the voice at her side, softly. "Will you look?"
I had no words which the silver-haired lady could listen to, but paddled across the flooded street between flashes to the pond on the green. Mr. Lingnam, scarcely visible through the sheeting downpour, trotted round the edge. He bore himself nobly, and lied at the mere sight of me. 'Isn't this wet? he cried. 'It has drenched me to the skin. I shall need a change. 'Come along, I said.
The celebration of the festival was not confined to the masculine portion of the community; silver-haired Señoras mingled in the cavalcade and many a bright-eyed Señorita looked forward to St. 's day with feelings nearly akin to those with which a New York belle regards the most fashionable ball of the season.
They were a comfortable pair silver-haired and happy in each other going toward the end of the journey hand in hand. The old man went to the door with me when I left, and we stood for a moment under the stars. "Mother and I miss hanging up the stockings for the kiddies," he said. "Were there many kiddies?" "Three. Two dead and one married and out West.
His mother is a very pleasant old silver-haired gentlewoman, with a soft, low voice and gentle manner that reminded me of Lady Monksburn. I felt it very hard work to say farewell to Annas. What might not have happened before we met again? Ephraim was there for the last hour or so, and was very attentive to her. I do think And I am rather afraid the Laird, her father, will not like it.
Of course this independence is not absolute; but then how many men there are already silver-haired at desk or bench or counter who are still under the authority of an employer! Like these men, the actress's independence is comparative; but measured by the bondage of other working-women, it is very great. We both have duties to perform for which we receive a given wage, yet there is a difference.
There is the mellow brown spinning wheel, and armchairs nearly two hundred years old and a walnut table that was mixed up in countless weddings and a beautifully carved old chest and a brocade-covered settee. There are old, old books and family portraits and there is the wonderful Madam herself, regal and silver-haired.
That great struggle now lies ten years back; yet, to-day, when the silver-haired veterans meet, they pass it over as a thing of the present, and go back to the times of the 'old army. Up in the northern straits, between blue Lake Huron, with its clear air, and gray Lake Michigan, with its silver fogs, lies the bold island of Mackinac.
I was sitting in my own room, writing to the Reverend Mother, to tell her of my return home, when I heard the toot of a horn and raising my eyes saw a motor-car coming up the drive. It contained three gentlemen, one of them wore goggles and carried a silver-haired terrier on his knees.
