"Oh, poor Nelson poor Nelson," Susy breathed. While their cab rattled across the Place du Carrousel, and over the bridge, he continued to sit beside her with hidden face. At last he pulled out a scented handkerchief, rubbed his eyes with it, and groped for another cigarette. "I'm all right! Tell her that, will you, Susy?
"This Jerome Fandor is probably the leader of a band of cutthroats who, after killing Susy d'Orsel, took advantage of my intoxication to make me unconscious with some narcotic, and then dragged me to the place I am now in." The King now began to explore the place on his hands and knees, his ears keenly alive to the slightest sound.
I never saw such a change in any one as what took place in your aunt after she had seen her." "Well, mother, you know what it is all about," said Susy. "Aunt Church wants to get into one of those almshouses." "Just like her stingy old thing!" said Mrs. Hopkins. "I don't want her to get in, I can tell you, mother; and when Kathleen and I were out I told Kathleen that she was a great deal too rich.
We ought to choose the girl who will look best, as it is a picture. I heard Miss Delano say so, when the ladies got up the tableaux, last winter, and every one wanted to be Cleopatra," said Jill decidedly. "You choose, and then if we can't agree we will draw lots," proposed Susy, who, being plain, knew there was little hope of her getting a chance in any other way.
"Hurry up, Susy, a plate and glass for my old friend, whose name I don't know ... because, you see, he's no more Achates than I am." "Oh, no, Madame," Fandor hastened to say, "I couldn't think of putting you to the trouble, besides spoiling the effect of your charming table. In fact, I am going home in a few moments." "Not on your life," shouted the King, "you'll stay to the very end."
"We are going to have a glorious time," whispered Susy to Kate Rourke as they made their way to their respective classes. Susy was small, rather stupid, and absolutely unimportant. Kate was big, black-eyed, impudent. She was jealous of the paying girls of the school; but she treated Susy as some one beneath contempt. "Don't drag my sleeve," she replied crossly.
This one's Susy, that one Clarence, but privately, you know. Before the world and in the stables he's only Birdie." "But I thought you wrote to me that you called them 'Paul and Virginie," said Mary doubtfully. "I do, sometimes," said Susy calmly. "But one has to learn to suppress one's feelings, dear!" Then quickly, "I do so hate deceit, don't you?
It was hard work killed her! And when I tried to tell her of His goodness to His creatures, she said: 'Yes; He is good enough to men. All He cares for women is to create them for men's convenience, And then there's little Susy, with a face like her mother's. Why, it just haunts me!" "Well," said Jim, "things are in a bad fix over there; but it isn't Susy's face that haunts me, by any means."
Mother, and Susy, and Prudy had gone to Willowbrook, to grandpa Parlin's of course they had, and left grandma Bead all alone in the house, with nothing to eat. How strange! How unkind! "Grandma!" she called out under Mrs. Read's window. There was no answer. Dotty fancied the white curtain moved just a little; but that was because a fly was balancing himself on its folds.
Susy laughed. "Just to think of our keeping a boy in THIS house, Prudy Parlin!" "O, no! course not!" returned her little sister, quickly; "we wouldn't keep a boy." "You see," argued Susy, "it's boys that fires all the popguns, and whistle in your ears, and frighten you. Why, if this was a brother, we couldn't but just live! What made you cry for a brother, Prudy?" "Poh, I didn't!
