There was a moment's hesitation, then Nell boldly followed suit; one by one, ending with Susy, the other five dropped down in the cool rippling water, which seemed to laugh, as if it saw the joke. "Oh!" Patricia cried, "I never meant " She was on her feet as quickly as possible. Susy was just the kind to go and catch cold, why she had begun to shiver and shake already.
This came, she thought bitterly, of living alone; of her husband's preoccupation with the property; of Susy's frivolous caprices. At the end of eight years to be outstripped by a former cattle-boy of her husband's, and to have her French corrected in a matter of fact way by this recent pupil of the priests, was really too bad! Perhaps he even looked down upon Susy!
"Yes," said Susy, "and grandma and aunt Madge will be so glad to see our baskets full they'll certainly be glad we didn't stay in the meadow. Big as your thumb, ain't they?" You see the girls were trying to stifle that still, small voice, and they tried to believe they were having a good time.
"The time is passing, and we must get to the bottom of Susy Hopkins's remarkable address. What's up, Susy? What's up?" "This," said Susy. "You know the Irish girl who has come to live with the Tennants?" "Can't say I do," said Kate. "Well, you will soon. She's a regular out-and-out beauty." "I know her," cried Ruth Craven. "She is most lovely." "She's better," said Susy; "she's bewitching.
I'll go right home this very minute, and tell my mother just how you treat your company!" And, in spite of all Susy could say, Annie threw on her hood and cloak, and flounced out of the room; forgetting, in her wrath, to take off Susy's red scarf, which was still festooned about her head. "Well, I'm glad she's gone," said Flossy, coolly, as the door closed with a slam.
"Yes, sir; she said the prongs of the chair stuck into her side." "It hurt me dreffully," said Prudy, who had until now forgotten all about it. "Susy spoke so quick, and said I was a little snail; and then I rolled over and over, and down I went."
Yet he had no reason to believe that Susy's nature was jealous, or that she was likely to have any cause; but the fact remained that Miss Faulkner's innocent intrusion upon their tete-a-tete affected him more strongly than anything else in his interview with Susy. Once out of the atmosphere of that house, it struck him, too, that Miss Faulkner was almost as much of an alien in it as himself.
"I don't know, I'm sure," replied Susy; "you must ask." "Well, I never teased for any. Horace gave 'em to me, and I shan't swallow 'em." "O, what a little snipe," cried Grace, laughing, "your pocket is stuffed so full it's going to burst open, and you'll be sick again, now you see!" "Sick?" repeated Prudy, looking frightened, for she did not forget her severe illness; "then I'll throw 'em away.
Susy d'Orsel has been the mistress of the King for about two years, and as you know constancy is unusual with men, it is quite possible that Frederick-Christian had had enough of his mistress and had become interested in another woman." "That doesn't explain anything." "Oh, yes, it does. It explains everything.
He embraced his wife, greeted Susy affectionately, and distributed cordial hand-grasps to the two men. "Hullo," he exclaimed, suddenly noticing a pearl and coral trinket hanging from Clarissa's neck. "Who's been giving my daughter jewellery, I'd like to know!" "Oh, Streffy did just think, father!
