Emory Merritt's sister was Ogden Greene's wife, and the Merritts kept up an occasional correspondence with her. Hence, Cecilia Merritt always knew what was to be known about Wesley Brooke, and always told Theodosia because she had never been expressly forbidden to do so. Today she looked slightly excited.
Maybe you'd better try sitting down; I don't think I just understand." "No'm, no'm, I guess you wouldn't, because you probably can always 'ford white flour. I thought if I frosted it over real white, it would hide the grahamness. I've got two eggs." Understanding came to Miss Theodosia, though a little slowly. Was she growing stupid?
"You must bring none of your sparks on board, Theodosia," exclaimed the pun-loving magistrate; "for they have a magazine here, and we shall all be blown up." Oblivion here drops the curtain upon the gay party and the brilliant scene. A suitor appeared for the hand of this fair and accomplished girl.
He had read about them in a book called Magnet Stories, where there was a girl called Theodosia, and she could play brilliant trebles on the piano in duets, but the other girl knew all about leeches which is much more useful and golden deedy. Oswald tried to pull the leeches off, but they wouldn't, and Denny howled so he had to stop trying.
An hour ago Theodosia Baxter, in a big house, alone; now this becapped and pink-cheeked Theodosia in a house with a baby! It was an exciting change; what else might it become? She was a little afraid of Elly Precious. "Not now, while he is asleep, but when he wakes " she thought. What would she do with Elly Precious when he waked?
She made an extra supply of shirts and socks for him, put up his lunch basket, and packed his trunk carefully. But she never spoke of his journey. He did not sell his farm. Irving Brooke rented it. Theodosia was to live in the house. The business arrangements were simple and soon concluded. Heatherton folks gossiped a great deal. They all condemned Theodosia.
If a person only sat on porches, in chairs, how often did white dresses need doing up? Miss Theodosia interpreted the sigh and look. "Oh, I've three of them rolled up in my trunk; aren't three enough to begin on? And shirtwaists I'm sure I don't know how many of those. I'll go and get them now." In the hall she stopped at the mirror, jibing at the image confronting her.
Montesquieu says he writes to make people think; and why may not Theodosia? We have this evening been to visit Mrs. The marriage was thus published Married, G.C., Esq., counsellor of law, from the West Indies, and now having a work in the press, to Mrs., &c. That work has been the cause of some curiosity and not a little amusement. I dined the other day with Mrs. Montgomery.
Elihu Launcelot, at this juncture, toppled over against the little flat breast of his nurse, asleep or in a swoon; Miss Theodosia had her fears. There seemed sufficient swooning cause. "Stefana," she prompted again, her interest advancing at a rapid pace, "and mothers " "Stefana's our oldest. She's goin' to run us while Mother's away. She's got a job before her!
The three other men had enormous breakfasts, and did not speak much, except that Captain Fieldin asked if we were not coming out to lunch; and Lady Theodosia said of course we were she intended to drive me in her pony carriage. When they had all started, she took me back to the boudoir, as it was a Wednesday, and the state apartments were on show, and she hates meeting the tourists from Bradford.
