There were times when they rushed into the store bursting with news or plans, but they had learned to control their eagerness. This, though, was no ordinary news that had blanched Theodore's face. At sight of the three, Mrs. Brandeis quietly turned her boiler purchaser over to Pearl and came forward from the rear of the store. "Oh, Mother!" cried Theodore, an hysterical note in his voice.
She was the oldest of our family, and had always been a second mother to her younger sisters, and her house our second home. The last of June my son Theodore's wife and daughter came over from France to spend a month with us. Lisette and Nora, about the same size, played and quarreled most amusingly together.
There the Emperor's cattle were kept, and messengers had been sent to the Amba by the peasants requesting immediate assistance, as a Galla force had made its appearance, and they felt themselves unable to protect Theodore's cows.
They talked, critically and favorably, on the way home. They applauded generously. They behaved as an Orchestra Hall audience always behaves, and would behave, even if it were confronted with a composite Elman-Kreisler-Ysaye soloist.

"Miss Merriweather will be here very soon," the man explained good-naturedly. "She wants you to go with her to the hospital." Jinnie's mind flew to that one time she had visited Theodore's sick bed. She would be glad to see Molly the Merry.
He wants to give up all his royal rights, and live as a subject. He wants to marry a woman who isn't a Princess. 'Is she rich? 'Her father is, said the girl. 'Oh, Dad! can't you guess? He he loves me. Her head fell on Theodore's shoulder and she began to cry. The millionaire whistled a very high note. 'Nell! he said at length. 'And you? Do you sort of cling to him?
