The Laurels was one of the prettiest places in the neighborhood, and Molly and Linda were considered as among the smartest girls at the school. Stephanotie wished to be hand-and-glove with Molly, not because she was supposed to be rich, or respectable, or anything else, but simply because her nature fitted to that of the wild, enthusiastic American girl.
Do have some; you don't know how long you may be kept waiting for your tea," said Stephanotie as she danced beside her companions up the avenue. In this fashion, therefore, did the three enter the house, for both of the Armitages had yielded to temptation, and each girl was just finishing a large bon-bon when they appeared on the scene. Mrs.
I would steal to go to him; there is nothing I would not do." "Nora, how queer you look!" said Molly. "I am thinking," said Nora. "I wonder how I am to get that money? Oh, I have it. I'll ask Stephanotie to lend it to me. Do you think she would?" "I don't know. I think it very likely. She is generous, and she has heaps of money." "Then I'll go to her," said Nora.
"Well, lost or found, I'd like to have a peep at it," said Molly; "so fork out the spoil, Stephie, and be quick." "I will, of course," said Stephanotie. "But how much do you want?" "All you possess, my dear; you cannot give us more than all you possess." "And when am I likely to have it back?" "Oh, as if that mattered," said Molly; "the thing is to get Nora home.
She thought it best to put on her rose-colored dress in time for early dinner. It fitted her well, but was scarcely the best accompaniment to her fiery-red hair. "Oh, lor', miss!" said Maria, the servant, when she first caught sight of Stephanotie. "You may well say, 'Oh, lor'! Maria," replied Stephanotie, "although it is not a very pretty expression.
I must somehow contrive to put some obstacle in the way." Meanwhile Molly rushed off to Nora. "Linda means mischief, and I must put my foot down immediately," she said. "Why, Molly, what is up?" "Put on your hat, darling, and come with me as fast as ever you can." "Where to?" "Mother has given in about Stephanotie. Linda will put her finger in the pie if she possibly can.
She does not know what mine will be when I take out my very best and most fascinating gown." Accordingly Stephanotie rifled her trunk, and from its depths she produced a robe which would, as she said, make the members of The Laurels sit up. It was made of rose-colored silk, and trimmed with quantities of cream lace. The skirt had many little flounces on it, and each was edged with lace.
She is sure to find out; but I have begged and prayed of mother not to tell her, at least until after Stephanotie and the others have gone. Then, I suppose, she must know." Molly reached the top of the hill. She was so blown that she had to fling herself on the grass. Nora again reached her side. "Tell me, Molly," she said; "there is something the matter?"
Don't you feel as if you were rubbed the wrong way the moment you speak to them?" "I don't take to them," said Molly; "but I think they're pretty." "They're just like what O'Shanaghgan is now," thought Nora, who did not speak. "They are all prim and proper; there's not a single wildness allowed to come out anywhere." "But they're for all the world like anybody else," said Stephanotie.
Stephanotie was a daring, bright, go-ahead young person, and had she ever taken, in the very least, to Linda, Linda would have worshiped her. Stephanotie was extremely rich, and the bouquets she brought to school, and the bon-bons she kept in her pocket, and the pretty trinkets she wore, and the dresses she exhibited had fascinated Linda more than once. For, rich as the Hartricks were, Mrs.
