Then she told what had hap-pened to her in the wood, and at every word pieces of gold dropped from her mouth, so that the room was soon covered with them. 'She's surely more money than wit to throw gold about like that, said her stepsister, but in her secret heart she was very jealous, and determined that she too would go to the wood and look for strawberries.
Even my stepsister feels so now, though she was against it at first, and neither of us would give it up for anything." "I don't think you should give it up," said Cousin Cornelia.
"And if Nell should happen to marry a rich man, he would be charmed to do something for the sweet little stepsister," I added. The L.C.P. turned on me shrewdly. "You seem to be very sure of that. I suppose you judge him by yourself. You think Nell's husband may be a rich American?" "I hope so," said I. "And a generous one.
"That doesn't matter, as they've never met; so long as he doesn't know her name." "Very well, he shan't learn it from me." "And he mustn't from Miss Rivers. Will you warn your stepsister, not under any provocation whatever, to speak the name of Lady MacNairne?" "I will. But why couldn't you have said Phil was engaged to Jonkheer Brederode?" "Robert van Buren wouldn't have stood it." "I see.
I was aimin' to go back to my home I got a stepsister livin' there and she might take me in only after payin' for this room I ain't got quite enough money to take me there; and now I don't know as I want to go, either. If I kin git my strength back I might stay on here I kind of like city life. Or I might go up to Cincinnati.
"I never saw such a funny tail; I do hope it isn't going to give me hysterics." But nobody else laughed, and Miss Rivers was gazing at her stepsister in a shocked, questioning way, her violet eyes saying as plainly as if they spoke "My darling girl, what possesses you to be so rude to an inoffensive foreigner?"
But if by putting out my foot I could have crushed every hope of his for the future every hope, that is, in which my stepsister Diana Forrest had any part I would have done it, just as I trample on ants in the country sometimes, for the pleasure of feeling that I even I have power of life and death. I swallowed hard, to keep the sobs back.
"Where did you find them?" asked Helen. "Under the trees on the mountain-side," said Marouckla. Helen kept the flowers for herself and her mother. She did not even thank her stepsister for the trouble she had taken. The next day she desired Marouckla to fetch her strawberries. "Run," said she, "and fetch me strawberries from the mountain. They must be very sweet and ripe."
She would make a beautiful picture, he thought; but for the noble, the good, the pure, he turned to the dark-eyed Maude, who was as wholly unlike her stepsister as it was possible for her to be. The one was a delicate blonde, the other a decided brunette, with hair and eyes of deepest black.
Wesson lit a cigarette, and threw the match out of the window before replying. "Look here, Spennie," he said, "I want to marry Miss McEachern." Spennie was in no mood to listen to the love affairs of other men. "Oh!" he said. "Yes. And I want you to help me." "Help you?" "You must have a certain amount of influence with her. She's your sister." "Stepsister." "Same thing."
