Sarah drew a long breath of relief. She sat down on the floor, her favorite resting place, and Shirley scrambled down beside her. "Well then," said Sarah more calmly, "I've lost Aunt Trudy's turquoise ring!" "You've lost Aunt Trudy's turquoise ring!" repeated Rosemary. "How on earth could you lose her ring?"
But you hurry and put the rest of the things back in the case and put it on Aunt Trudy's dresser, Sarah. And then look all over the house." Rosemary searched every step of the way to the grocery store where Sarah had gone to buy the yeast cake, and all the way back, but with no result.
She approved of Trudy's views of life as much as she disapproved and was rather afraid of this young woman who wanted to bustle her into trim house dresses instead of the eternal wrappers. "I kept Trudy only because she needed work and a home," Mary said, frankly; "and because you wanted her. But my salary does nicely for us.
"This is our general sitting room," she went on, "and this is your bedroom, right next to Trudy's." They entered a large room, with two brass beds and attractive appointments of all sorts. The chairs and lounges were covered with gay chintz and there was a long deep window seat from which, across a balcony filled with flowers, they could see the ocean.
With all Trudy's shallow nature and shrewd selfishness she was as fond of Mary as she was capable of being fond of any one. Besides, it was more comfortable to be a member of the Faithful household for nine dollars a week and be allowed hot cakes and sirup
It does rile me to think of your working for Steve. Never mind, my ship will come in and then we'll show them all." "I'm twenty-three and you're twenty-six, and my eyes ache when I work steadily. I'll have to wear glasses in another year but I'll wash clothes before I'll do it!" "When it gets that bad we'll be married," he said, seriously. The humour passed over Trudy's head. "Married on what?"
College professors are lots harder to get along with but business men are as cross as two sticks in their offices and at home they're so sweet it would melt pig iron." The first plank in Trudy's platform was to marry a business man as nearly like Steve O'Valley as possible. The second was whether or not she had a stunning home with brick fireplaces never to spend her days hanging round them.
I should think it would mean a great deal to have Mary for your chief confidante she is so good, and yet human and " Steve stood up abruptly and wondered why no kind friend saw fit to enter at this moment. He would have really welcomed Trudy's husband.
Beatrice found herself amused instead of annoyed as she climbed the stairs to the Vondeplosshe residence. At Trudy's request Gay had discreetly consented to be absent. He had pretty well picked up the threads of his various enterprises and what with his club duties, his second-rate concerts, his gambling, and commissions from antique dealers, he managed to put in what he termed a full day.
Trudy's virile, magnetic personality would have commanded this weakling's attention and admiration at any time and in any circumstances which is the way of things. Very wisely Trudy kept the engagement somewhat of a secret.
