'That will be quite too lovely, exclaimed four enthusiasts in a chorus. 'You know how fond I am of those delicate tints in that soft Indian cashmere, that falls in such artistic folds. 'Heavenly, sighed the chorus, and Miss Dulcie went on talking for half-an-hour by Chertsey clock, in fact till the tea-bell broke up the little conclave. What was Ida Palliser going to wear at the garden party?
"And O mammy!" she added, with a burst of bitter tears, "ask Him to make my father love me." "I will, darlin', I will," sobbed Chloe, pressing the little form closer to her heart; "an' don't you go for to be discouraged right away; for I'se sure Massa Horace must love you, fore long." The tea-bell rang, and the family gathered about the table; but one chair remained unoccupied.
Now, we simply must go on with our letters! Begin when I say three! The letters were finally finished just as the tea-bell rang. Betty ran to wash her hands, and then they went down to the library, where tea was served every afternoon that they were at home. "Why! I quite like tea over here!" Betty remarked. "I never drink it at home! Mother would be so surprised if she saw me!
'Well, even if there WASN'T, I will be bound by the wordless oath of your strangely upright land, and having said that I will be your friend I will be it. 'Then that's all right, said the Psammead; 'and there's the tea-bell. What are you going to do with your distinguished partner? He can't go down to tea like that, you know.
"There, pet, that will do," said Violet, laughing, as she returned a hearty kiss, then gently disengaged the child's arms from her neck; "we must make haste to array you in them before the tea-bell rings," and taking Gracie's hand, she led her toward the bed.
She is always at it." "Indeed!" and he relapsed into thoughtful silence. Another hour passed slowly away, and then the tea-bell rang. "Elsie," asked her father, coming to her side, "are you ready to obey me now? if so, we will wait a moment to hear the song, and then you can go to your tea with us."
There's the tea-bell; come in with me." "Ah, Walter, it's only in the evenings when you're away that I get pitched into. If I were but in the same house with you, how jolly it would be."
Rose gave her a warning pinch, and the both subsided into an unseen giggle. "What! The tea-bell!" cried everybody. "We wanted to play another game." "It's a complete success!" whispered Rose, ecstatically, as they went down the hall. "The girls all say they never had such a good time in their lives. I'm so glad I didn't die with the measles when I was little!"
At length, just before the second tea-bell rang, the school porter once more appeared, this time to inform the prisoner that the headmaster wished to see him in his study. Mr. Westford sat at his table writing a letter, and received his visitor in grim silence.
Oh! that's easy to decide; he'd have made two or three quotations; he'd have immediately called the attention of the form to the fact that Penkridge had been: "`Flung by angry Jove Sheer o'er the crystal battlements; from morn Till noon he fell, from noon till dewy eve; A winter's day, and as the tea-bell rang, Shot from the ceiling like a falling star On the great schoolroom floor."
