They were the reason of the party; she made that evident at once. Miss Teenie did not attempt the impossible and "toy" with her tea. There was no need to. The tea was delicious, and she drank three cups. She tried everything on the table and pronounced everything excellent. Never had she felt herself so entertaining such a capital talker as now, with Pamela smiling and applauding every effort.
I know all about her, Alec told me," continued Teenie with a knowing shake of her ruddy curls. "And she'll have a string of hearts dangling to her apron, if she wears one, before the month is out, so you'd better mind out, Barney." But Barney was not heeding her. "Hush!" he said, holding up his hand, for again the voice was rising up clear and full into the night silence.
"I remember that when I was a child," Jean said. "We used to be put to sleep with it; it is very soothing. Thank you so much, Miss Bathgate ... Now I think we should have a game." "Forfeits," Miss Teenie suggested. "That's a silly game," said Mhor; "there's kissing in it." "Perhaps we might have a quiet game," Jean said. "What was that one we played with Pamela, you remember, Jock?
Honest, didn't that teach you a lesson? Be good, Jas. Don't scare poor old Teenie all alone here with you. Looka out there through the door. Ain't it something grand? Honest, Jas, I just never get tired looking. See them low little hills out there. I always say they look like chiffon this time of evening. Don't they?
"And very affable they were," added her sister. But when the sisters had removed their best clothes and were seated in the dining-room with the cloth laid for supper, Miss Teenie said, "All the same, it's fine to be back in our own house and not to have to heed about manners."
Things are rarely as bad as we anticipate, and, as it turned out, not only Miss Watson, but the rebellious Miss Teenie, looked back on that tea-party as one of the pleasantest they had ever taken part in, and only Heaven knows how many tea-parties the good ladies had attended in their day. They were judges of china and fine linen, and they looked appreciatively at the table.
At two o'clock they began to dress. Miss Teenie protested against this disturbance of their afternoon rest, but her sister was firm. "It'll take me every minute of the time, Teenie, for I've all my underclothing to change." "But, mercy me, Miss Reston'll not see your underclothes!"
"Jas Jas, if you get to cutting up again, I'm going to get me a man-nurse out here honest I am!" "A swig, Teenie." "Please, Jas it's only for bad spells five drops mixed up in your medicine. That's six dollars a bottle, Jas, and only for bad spells." "Stingy gut!" "Looka down there, honey there's old man Wyncoop's cow broke tether again. What you bet he's out looking for her.
Yes, it was true, because Jessie Robertson, and Lottie Price, and Teenie Johnstone, and all the big girls said so. And Jessie Robertson had promised to tell them so they could be careful, and Lizzie could just look out and see if she wasn't right. Elizabeth did look out, and found as usual that Rosie was correct.
It means that he turned me down cold, dearie." "Do you mean " began the girl, gripping the table edge. "I mean that I lied to you. The night I went over to Trevison's ranch he told me plainly that he didn't like me one teenie, weenie bit any more. He wouldn't kiss me, shake my hand, or welcome me in any way.
