Perhaps, in making a confidante of Sophy, there was something of the satisfaction that comes of dropping a surreptitious stone down a deep well and hearing it plunk, safe in the knowledge that it has struck no one and that it cannot rebound, lying there in the soft darkness. Sometimes they would end by saying, "But you don't know what it is, Sophy. You can't.
But now a new standard of belief has been set up in me, and the word "belief" has a different meaning. February 3rd. Whenever I saw anything beautiful I always asked Tom or Sophy to look. Now I ask nobody.
I told the doctor how my back ached long before baby came or she either, and he said that most likely the weakness had been left by the fever. So if it is any one's mismanagement, it is Aunt Maria's, and if you wont tell her so, I will. 'Gently, Sophy, that would hardly be grateful, after the pains that she has taken with you, and the care she meant to give.
"They don't bother me much, as a rule." "Max Tack isn't a bad boy. He never wastes much time on me. I don't buy his line. Max is all business. Of course he's something of a smarty, and he does think he's the first verse and chorus of Paris-by-night; but you can't help liking him." "Well, I can," said Sophy Gold, and her voice was a little bitter, "and without half trying."
She made herself so grim that Maria broke up the consultation by saying good-humouredly, 'Yes, we will settle it when Lucy comes home. 'Yes, muttered Sophy, 'Lucy is ready for any sort of nonsense. Mr. and Mrs. Kendal went to Woodside to meet Lucy, hoping that solitude would be beneficial.
Can you feel this towards me, Sophy, can you, dear? Then be quick "pick up chips and call your father to dinner." Eating is the chief occupation at sea. It's the great topic as well as the great business of the day, especially in small sailing vessels like the "Black Hawk;" although anything is good enough for me when I can't get nothin' better, which is the true philosophy of life.
The Saracen's Head pleased him, though its imposing size daunted Sophy. He arrested the steps of the porter, "Follow me close," and stepped across the open threshold into the bar. The landlady herself was there, portly and imposing, with an auburn toupet, a silk gown, a cameo brooch, and an ample bosom. "You have a private sitting-room, ma'am?" said the Comedian, lifting his hat.
I have such a number of cousins, that I should be sorry if you were the most undeserving of them." In taking leave, she desired her next sister, Sophy, a girl about eleven years old, to take great care of the children, and to say good-bye to papa for her when he came home from his ride.
One bright hope upheld Sophy; Herr Krauss now talked of returning home that is, to Germany. "Business is booming, my dear old lady; I shall close down, and we will all depart. You have been in Burma too long, but in six months we shall be aboard the mail boat and watch the gold Pagoda gradually sinking out of sight.
But Elsie was the wilder of these two motherless children. Old Sophy said to be the granddaughter of a cannibal chief who watched them in their play and their quarrels, always seemed to be more afraid for the boy than the girl. "Massa Dick, don' you be too rough wi' dat girl!
