"Miss Talbert and I were guests at the Abercrombies' last October maybe she's told you and on Hallowe'en we had a party apple-bobbing and the mirror trick and all that, and somehow or other Miss Talbert and I were thrown together a great deal, and before I really knew how, or why, we well, we became engaged for for the week, anyhow." "I see," said I, dryly.
He was rather rueful over the notion that he might have hurt Miss Talbert by his bad conduct. I begged him not to distress himself, his first duty now was to get well. I asked him if he would do me the favor, with the doctor's permission, of taking the fresh air with his mother on the terrace of the hospital about half-past five that afternoon.
Talbert look serious; and I fancy my proposition made him realize the affair as he had not before, perhaps. After a moment's pause, he said, "Well! That's something I should like to talk with my wife about." "Do so!" I applauded.
I simply don't exist, and I've never tried to undeceive her it's too much trouble. She always wants to tell people how to do their hair and put on their clothes. Miss Elizabeth Talbert is a howling swell; she only just endures it here. I've heard lots of things about her from Bell Pickering, who knows the Munroes Lily Talbert, they call her there.

Then at the end of the week I was suddenly called home, and I didn't have any chance to see Miss Talbert alone before leaving, and well, the engagement wasn't broken off. That's all. I never saw her again until I came here to meet the family. I didn't know she was Peggy's aunt." "So that in reality you WERE engaged to both Peggy and Miss Talbert at the same time," I suggested.
Talbert duly called after We came to Eastridge, and when my wife had self-respectfully waited a proper time, which she made a little more than a week lest she should feel that she had been too eager for the acquaintance, she returned the call. Then she met not only Mrs. Talbert, but Mrs.
Talbert, Peggy's drive with me to Whitman, and her views upon dandies and other cognate subjects. Then I explained to him quite clearly what I should conceive my duty to be if I were in his place. He assented warmly to my view.
That afternoon I didn't need him any more than a squirrel needs a pocket, and I told him so. He laughed, and then grew serious. "You're not looking as well as you did, Mrs. Evarts," he said, "and Talbert told me that you had all the preliminary symptoms of one of your attacks and wanted me to 'nip it in the bud, he said." "Dr.
It did me good to ease my mind about Elizabeth Talbert for once. Ada only said, "Elizabeth and I have always been such good friends, and she's so fond of Peggy." Ada doesn't realize that with some women vanity is stronger than loyalty. She kissed me.
