He had hitherto rather liked that young gentleman; now he felt a sudden but violent detestation for him. Sundaes pleasant to the palate and disastrous to all but youthful digestions were ordered. Albert's had a slight flavor of gall and wormwood, but he endeavored to counterbalance this by the sweetness derived from the society of Jane Kelsey and her friend.
Wilcox, the housekeeper's sister a bright-eyed, cheerful little Englishwoman, who, to judge by the way the girls greeted her, was immensely popular. Sally May and Josephine hailed them from a coveted table by the west window, and the four of them were soon busily and happily engaged with peach sundaes and the foibles and peculiarities of teachers new and old.
It was interrupted by the arrival of the Kelsey limousine, which rolled majestically up to the drug store steps. Jane spied it first. "Oh, mercy me, here's mother!" she exclaimed. "And your mother, too, Madeline. We are tracked to our lair. . . . No, no, Mr. Speranza, you mustn't go out. No, really, we had rather you wouldn't. Thanks, ever so much, for the sundaes. Come, Madeline."
"Well, it's just the elegantest thing vanilla ice-cream with hot fudge poured over it, and as soon as they pour the fudge it's steaming hot, you know simply scalding it forms into a sort of candy, and then when they serve it " "I fancy you want one, too, don't you?" "Oh, goodness me, yes! I always eat chocolate fudge sundaes.
It was like cold hair-oil. But I stuck to it. I could not break down now. I could not bear to forfeit the newly-won esteem of my comrades. They were gulping their sundaes down with the speed and enjoyment of old hands. I set my teeth, and persevered, and by degrees a strange exhilaration began to steal over me. I felt that I had burnt my boats and bridges; that I had crossed the Rubicon.
"If I am to do you any good," he said, "you must tell me all. You must hold no secrets from me." "Doctor," I said, covering my face with my hands, "I am a confirmed soda-fiend." He gave me a long lecture and a longer list of instructions. I must take air and exercise and I must become a total abstainer from sundaes of all descriptions.
Tommie fetched their sundaes in that miraculous way waiters have of carrying cup and saucers heaped up, just as jugglers catch them. "Been practicin'?" inquired Grace glibly. "What for?" asked Tommie, whisking his towel over the table. "Why, for the contest," answered Grace, as if the whole world should know that. "Oh, yes a little," admitted Tommie, gliding off to a new customer.
It was not in his unyellow soul to go back on his word without refunding the money, and a dollar of it was already spent to the "Chinese Fund," to say nothing of sundaes and sodas and whips. So he sat and studied the mountain ahead of him. Suddenly, as the sun, which had been for a long time slipping down behind the mountains at his back, finally disappeared, his face cleared.
And besides, ice-cream is healthy, and certainly there's nothing with more nourishment in it than chocolate unless it is raisins. I like raisins well enough " Carroll turned to the boy. "Two chocolate fudge sundaes," he ordered; "and put a few raisins on one of them." He found the large eyes of the girl turned upon him adoringly.
They both said I was quite different from the rest of the new girls, and made such a lot of fuss over me that I invited them into that little shop across from the station to have ice cream." "And then?" asked Miriam. "Then," said J. Elfreda impressively, "after they had had two sundaes apiece, at my expense, they played a mean trick on me.
