The spinster's tone was short. "The bed is in an alcove, and I had only turned on the electric bulb by the bureau; thus the room was in partial darkness. I eh eh " then with a rush "I did not know he was there until I was ready to get in bed." "Was Mr. Spencer asleep?" "I never waited to see." Coroner Penfield stifled a smile and changed the subject.
They chatted over them for a few minutes, and then Deb put her hand gently on Clare's arm. 'We've heard o' your sad loss, my dear, and our old hearts have ached for you. 'Tis a heavy cross to have the hope of bein' a happy wife snatched away, and a lone and loveless spinster's lot instead stretchin' out in front o' you. 'Tis a long and weary road for young feet to travel!
A bright day smiled upon my enterprise, and at ten I reported myself to my General, received last instructions and no end of the sympathetic encouragement which women give, in look, touch, and tone more effectually than in words. The next step was to get a free pass to Washington, for I'd no desire to waste my substance on railroad companies when "the boys" needed even a spinster's mite.
It would never do to disappoint that pathetic and eager hope, as of a last-moment rescue, expressed in the little spinster's quick flush and breathless, thankful affirmative. Ten days' leeway before entering upon the new work. To which of scores of crowding purposes could Banneker best put the time?
Strange is the paradox of a woman's heart; for Flamby, well knowing that this spinster's venom was a product of jealousy jealousy of talent, super-jealousy of youth and beauty yet took hurt from it and hugged the sting of cruel criticism to her breast. In this, for all her engrafted wisdom, she showed herself a true limb of Eve.
The fear of "the other woman" may be largely assuaged by a spinster's confidence in her ability to cope with the difficult situation, should it ever present itself, but there are other considerations which act as a discouragement to matrimony. The chains of love may be sweet bondage, but freedom is hardly less dear.
I have heard many explanations given for the breach you name, but never any so reasonable." A flash from the spinster's wary eye, then a burst of courage and the quick retort: "And what explanation does Oliver himself give? You ought to know, Mrs. Scoville." The attack was as sudden as it was unexpected.
The truth was, the spinster's appetite had warned her that it was quite luncheon time, and recollecting the bounteous repasts always spread at Piney Cove, she had graciously assented to her parent's proposal that they should call.
Plain old bodies, I mean, hopping and "todillating" as Bel expressed the little spinster's gait along together; their souls walked in a sweet and gracious reality before the sight of God. Bel and Mr. Hewland were beside each other. They had never walked together before, of course; but they hardly thought of the unusualness.
Outwardly, Thalassa had more kinship with a pirate than a husband. There was that in his swart eagle visage and moody eyes which suggested lawless cruises, untrammelled adventure, and the fierce wooing of brown women by tropic seas rather than the dull routine of married life. As a husband he was an anomaly like a caged macaw in a spinster's drawing-room. Mrs.
