Will you read them very good-naturedly? If you will, I will get the paper that has "Aunt Tabitha." That is the one the fault-finder said produced such deep depression of feeling. It was written for the "Comic Department." Perhaps it will make you cry, but it was n't meant to.
Lady Constantine's face flamed up vividly. 'If Sir Blount were to come back all of a sudden oh, my! Lady Constantine grew cold as ice. 'There's nothing in it, said Tabitha scornfully. 'I could prove it any day. 'Well, I wish I had half her chance! sighed the lady's maid. And no more was said on the subject then. Tabitha's remark showed that the suspicion was quite in embryo as yet.
Comfort began to search all over the school-room floor, but all she found were wads of paper and apple-cores, slate-pencil stumps and pins. Then she went out in the yard and looked carefully, then she went down the road to the old Loomis place, where she and Matilda had walked at recess Miss Tabitha Hanks went home that way but no sign of the ring could she find.
Everybody loved Tabitha, and Tabitha loved everybody, not excepting the natives, who adored her. Between the Kaffirs and Tabitha there was some strong natural bond of sympathy. They understood one another. At length came the blow. It happened thus.
Come and meet her, girls;" and before Tabitha realized what had happened, six or seven laughing girls emerged from the various rooms along the hall, and surrounded her, all chattering gayly and apparently not noticing Tabitha's awkward, embarrassed manner. Carrie joined them shortly, and received an enthusiastic greeting, for it was evident that she, too, was a general favorite.
"Peter, Peter," said Grandma Effingham in a tone of gentle remonstrance, "if thee would only let the ball alone Tabitha would keep quiet." "Stop it, Peter," said Betty, from the doorway, as the irrepressible youngster rolled over and over on the rug, himself, the gray cat, and the ball of gray yarn hopelessly entangled.
Even Tabitha admitted a strangeness about the house, but, confident in her piety and virtue, took no heed of it, her mind being fully employed in another direction. Since the death of her sister all restraint upon her was removed, and she yielded herself up entirely to the stern and hard rules enforced by avarice upon its devotees.
"You've got a grouch against the world because you think it hasn't treated you right, and you're spitting your spite out on your children. Here is Tabitha, now, as bright a child as I ever laid eyes on " "And as ugly a one." "Whose fault is that, Maximilian Catt? If she had been brought up differently she would compare favorably with any child in the country.
Wish I could keep her with me all the time. She wouldn't get into so much mischief." He anxiously scanned the house as he approached it for some glimpse of lively Tabitha, but was disappointed. Suddenly from overhead came a soft bird trill, followed by a suppressed snicker.
It is a regrettable fact that Miss Janice, who had looked the picture of submission as her mother spoke, made a mouth, which was far from respectful, at the departing figure. "Oh, Janice," said Tabitha, "will he be very severe?" "Severe?" laughed Janice.
