Tellingham commanded them to. Much to his delight, Curly was kept out of his school to run errands. Ruth got a nap on the lounge in the sitting room, and felt better. The doctor returned at nine o'clock in the forenoon and by that time the sick girl's face was so swollen that she could scarcely see out of her eyes. Her hands and wrists were puffed badly, too. "Where has she been?" demanded Dr.
"I don't know who could be writing you but Uncle Bill," said Ann Hicks, blunderingly. "And I expect he's told you a-plenty." "I think 'Uncle Bill' must be the most recklessly generous man in the world, my dear," observed Mrs. Tellingham, taking and holding one of Ann's brown hands, and looking closely at the western girl. For a moment the new girl blushed and her own eyes shone. "You bet he is!
"I hear you are helping two of the other girls in a perfectly legitimate way, of course. It is not taking too much out of you?" "Oh, no, dear Mrs. Tellingham!" cried Ruth, fearful that her tutoring would be forbidden. "You are not working too hard in the gym.?" "I do not think so," stammered Ruth. "And this is ridiculous," said Mrs. Tellingham, with a smile.
Between supper and bedtime each evening they faithfully worked at their lessons for the ensuing day and every hour of daylight brought its separate duty. There seemed to be little opportunity for idle hands to find mischief at Briarwood Hall. Mrs. Tellingham, however, did not propose that the girls should be so closely confined by their studies that their physical health would be neglected.
She mounted a slightly raised platform and stood for a moment overlooking the room. "It's Mrs. Tellingham," whispered the fat girl to Ruth, seeing the question in the latter's face. The Preceptress was a really handsome lady perhaps forty-five, perhaps ten years older. Her perfectly white hair, thick and well arranged, seemed to have been the result of something besides age.
Oh, I hope so, Mrs. Tellingham!" cried Ruth, in great distress. "I am sure I love her just the same and always shall." "But she evidently finds her friends among the Upedes. Why did she not join this new society that you have started?" "I I did not mean to start it without her," stammered Ruth. "It was really only my suggestion. The other Infants took it up " "But you named it?"
Hammond's films taken at Lumberton were of an educational nature and the Board of Trade of the city expected much advertising of the industries of the place when the films were released. However, to get back to Mrs. Sadoc Smith Her instructions from Mrs. Tellingham included the putting out of the lamp in the big room the four Briarwood girls occupied by ten o'clock every night; but Mrs.
They hold a meeting this evening, too. You know, she said there was rivalry between the two big school clubs. Hers is the Upedes." "Oh! the Up and Doings," laughed Ruth. "I remember." "She said she would wait for us after we get through with Mrs. Tellingham and introduce us to her friends." "Well!" gasped Ruth, with a sigh. "We most certainly cannot go to both. What shall we do?"
Ruth's own paper upon "The Force of Character" and Jennie's funny "History of a Bunch of Briers" received the most applause. Mrs. Tellingham came last.
"Why, she seemed nice enough to us only not very friendly," said Helen, slowly, for Helen was naturally a kind-hearted girl. "She's a poverty-stricken little foreigner. She scarcely ever wears a decent dress. I don't really see why Mrs. Tellingham has her at the school at all. She has no friends, or relatives, or anybody that knows her " "Oh, yes she has," said Helen, laughing.
