Having made up her mind, Livy steeled her heart to all appeals, and wrote letters, packed trunks, and watched her little flock like a vigilant sheep-dog. How she would ever have got them through that last week is very uncertain, if a providential picnic had not helped her. A fair was held in the town, and a delightful surprise-party was got up among the artists of Rome.
She's so high strung, that this little accident of his has completely upset her. I notice that she sort of keeps out of the way of people. I'm pretty sure that yesterday she saw me coming and slipped out into the garden to avoid me think of that! Nervousness; pure nervousness. But I have a plan to brighten her up a little a surprise-party. What do you say?" Dr. Lavendar looked doubtful.
But not until he saw Stewart pounce on the incident of the mammoth surprise-party as a clinching argument against land-monopoly, did that austere janitor hang his keys on his thumb, to hunt-up, far back in his book, the page reserved in case of rich men. And still the metaphor of the camel and the needle's eye stands unimpaired.
And she read aloud by the single ray of light admitted through the shutters, and told stories until her voice was husky. "It's fun, isn't it?" said Eugenia, one day when they were waiting for their lunch to be brought up. "I am always wondering what is coming next, for Cousin Elizabeth has never missed a day, sending up some surprise with our meals. It is a continual surprise-party."
Debby opened her brown eyes very wide, and hastily picked at the down on her fan, but had no time to correct her aunt's mistake, for the real subject of her commendations appeared at that moment, and Mrs. Caroll was immediately absorbed in the consumption of a large pink ice. "That girl is what I call a surprise-party, now," remarked Mr.
"What do you mean by a surprise-party?" I asked, in perplexity. "An' why should the best gun be brought here?" "Well, you see, lad, the chances are them bloody sneaks will soon try to work the same deviltry which we had to look at idly last night, for it stands to reason that all who deserted from this fort fell into their clutches.
"A Faëry Surprise-Party" is as delicate as are Jack Frost's pencillings, through which all the events of the story curiously move. "New-Year's Day in the Garden" has equal delicacy, and even greater beauty. In all the stories there is a humanizing of all elements introduced, even the most material. We are assured that the author's efforts will meet with success.
Who could be sure that the turkey might not arrive at the table singed and charred, and the pudding in a condition of soup? Schoolboy Tom was quick with a suggestion. "I say tell you what! Do the surprise-party business, and take a hamper with us. . . . Only decent thing to do, when you march in four strong to another person's feed. Dennis would love a hamper " "Ha! Good! Fine idea! So we will!
On a certain night fixed by him the surprise-party were to be ready with ladders, which they must erect in two places against the wall. Morrice would see that safe sentinels were posted at these points. At a signal agreed upon they were to mount the ladders and break into the castle. The night came. Morrice was in the castle, where he shared the governor's bed.
All I meant to say, when I began, was, that this was not a surprise-party where I read these few lines that follow: We will not speak of years to-night; For what have years to bring, But larger floods of love and light And sweeter songs to sing? We will not drown in wordy praise The kindly thoughts that rise; If friendship owns one tender phrase, He reads it in our eyes.
