But it got on Agnes' nerves and one afternoon, before the first week of school was over, she turned suddenly on the demure Trix in the middle of her recitation and exclaimed, hysterically: "If you don't stop whispering that way, Trix Severn, I'll just go mad!" "Agnes!" ejaculated Miss Shipman. "What does this mean?" "I don't care!" cried Agnes, stormily. "She interrupts me "
"Like another Creusa," answered Sybil, coldly. Then changing her tone, she said, with assumed lightness, "Come, Trix, you want to see some fun, and you shall see it. You and I are of about one size. We will therefore exchange dresses. You shall be the Fire Queen and I will be the Puritan maid.
She saw the Dowager's paint t'other day, and asked her why she wore that red stuff didn't you, Trix? and the Tower; and St. James's; and the play; and the Prince George, and the Princess Anne didn't you, Trix?" "They are both very fat, and smelt of brandy," the child said. Papa roared with laughing. "Brandy!" he said. "And how do you know, Miss Pert?"
She played chess with Sir Victor his hand trembled hers was steady. Captain Hammond asked her for a Scotch song. She went to the piano and sang, never more clearly and sweetly in her life. "Sing 'Charley he's my darling," suggested Trix, maliciously; "it's one of your favorites, I know." Charley was reposing on a sofa near the waxlights streaming over his handsome, placid face.
I tell him to break his engagement, and not be worried so; but he won't, because she has been jilted once and he thinks it 's such a mean thing to do." "Perhaps she 'll jilt him." "I 've no doubt she will, if anything better comes along. But Trix is getting passe, and I should n't wonder if she kept him to his word, just out of perversity, if nothing else."
"Harry speaks like a book," says Frank, with one of his oaths, "and, by , every word he saith is true. You can't help being handsome, Trix; no more can the Prince help following you. My counsel is that you go out of harm's way; for, by the Lord, were the Prince to play any tricks with you, King as he is, or is to be, Harry Esmond and I would have justice of him."
It's too bad you've worn his hat all night and didn't know it. You ought to see yourself. Your own mother won't know you, Trix." "I can't look any worse than you do. A negro would be white by comparison. Do get in, so we can start! I'm tired to death, and half-starved." After these unamiable remarks, she refused to open her lips.
The idea of horrid floors, like black looking-glasses, and slipperier than a skating-rink. Edith, how long is it since you got up?" "Now for it!" thought Edith, and the smile she strove to repress, dimpled her sunny face. Luckily, standing behind Trix's chair, Trix did not see it. "How long? Oh, since nine o'clock. You know I'm not a very early riser." "Did you go straight down to breakfast?"
Dora did not ask the curate to dinner that night, but he dropped in about nine o'clock to ask her opinion as to the hymns on Sunday; and finding Miss Trix and Newhaven in the small drawing-room he sat down and talked to them. This was too much for Trix; she had treated him very kindly and had allowed him to amuse her; but it was impossible to put up with presumption of that kind.
Boys do as they like; and I don't see why girls need to be kept so dreadfully close. I 'd like to see anybody watching and guarding me!" added another dashing young lady. "It would take a policeman to do that, Trix, or a little man in a tall hat," said Fanny, slyly, which caused a general laugh, and made Beatrice toss her head coquettishly.
