"It is rather late in the day for such tender confessions as that," Edith replies, with a reckless sort of laugh; "but yes if the declaration does you any good, Trix I love Charley." "And you give him up! Miss Darrell, I give you up as a conundrum I can't solve.
Nay, I happen to know that she spoke very seriously to Trix, pointing out the wickedness of trifling with him; whereupon Trix, who maintained a bowing acquaintance with her conscience, avoided him for a whole afternoon and endangered all Algy Stanton's prudent resolutions by taking him out in the Canadian canoe. This demonstration in no way perturbed the curate.
"Once or twice, but sort of jokingly, and I thought it was only some little flirtation. He can't have time for much of that fun, he 's so busy." "Ned writes good, gossipy letters I taught him how and he tells me all that 's going on. That was a blow, for you see, Fan, since Trix broke the engagement, and it was n't wrong to think of Tom, I let myself hope, just a little, and was so happy!
Trix Severn was not much of a favorite with the boys; she wasn't "a good sport." But the second Kenway girl had showed herself to be good fun right from the start. "Got it, Agnes! Hurrah for the Corner House girl!" shrieked one youngster who belonged in the sixth grade, grammar. "Eva Larry for mine," declared another. "She's some little skater, and don't you forget it."
"But I tell you right now, he won't very long. You're going to do the decent thing and give him to Trixie for a wedding present." Dick looked as though Trix was welcome to any thing he possessed. Sir Redmond Gets His answer. "Before long, dear, we shall get on the great ship, and ride across the large, large ocean, and be at home.
The gas was lit, and the dressing-bell ringing, before the last coat-tail disappeared. As the young ladies, yawning drearily in each other's faces, turned to go up to their rooms, a servant entered, bearing two pasteboard boxes. "With Sir Victor Catheron's compliments, Miss Beatrix, and brought by his man." Each box was labelled with the owner's name. Trix opened hers with eager fingers.
After lunch, Charley selected the sunniest spot on deck for his resting-place, and the prettiest girl on board, for his companion, spread out his railway rug at her feet, spread out himself thereon, and prepared to be happy and be made love to. Trix, on the arm of the baronet, paraded the deck, Mrs.
I was a mercenary, ambitious wretch, and I received my just reward. We parted at the last friends, thank God! but I can never forgive myself never!" There was a pause an uncomfortable one for Trix. "How long since you came to New York?" she asked at length.
If it was three years, with such an interest at stake, the poor little mother would jump at it. Three months soon pass, and there will be two people less to feed and wait upon, and a room less to keep in order. Every little tells when people are as hard up as we are, and with the savings mother will be able to pay Miss Carter to help with the mending. It will be good for Trix, too.
The more you depend upon Trix the more she rises to the occasion. I have a shrewd suspicion that she is going to cut us out, and be the show daughter of the family. Mother will be blissfully happy building castles in the air; Trix will be blissfully happy playing eldest daughter, and bossing the family. We shall be blissfully happy not pretending, but actually being, Berengaria and Lucille.
