He will not easily believe that you can think of him. And, meantime, you" "Will suffer. Yes, I know it; but I should suffer more if I were guilty of an unmaidenly action. So you will keep your promise?" "I will keep it faithfully." It was time for the cousins to part. Bertha returned to the hotel with a lighter heart, because she had transferred its weighty secret to another's keeping.
It is a part of my penance; and I will show the higher, stronger pride of one who makes no vain, useless pretence to happy indifference, but who can maintain a self-control so perfect that even Mrs. Alston shall not see one unmaidenly advance or overture."
"We thought you had gone," said Jo hastily, for she knew he was looking at her. Her bonnet wasn't big enough to hide her face, and she feared he might think the joy it betrayed unmaidenly. "Did you believe that I should go with no farewell to those who haf been so heavenly kind to me?" he asked so reproachfully that she felt as if she had insulted him by the suggestion, and answered heartily...
Herrets, and perhaps I should have continued to think so had not accident revealed to me what real love is." Fred looked astonished and remained silent. He did not suspect the state of her heart. "It would be unmaidenly," she continued, with a slight air of vexation to think that Fred remained cool, "for me to speak plainer, and if you cannot solve my meaning I must remain silent."
For him the heavens still spun and the earth reeled: but out of their turmoil this hard truth emerged as a rock from the withdrawing flood. "God will provide for us. He knows that I cannot wait and you you must forget that I was unmaidenly and wooed you: for I did, and it's useless to deny it. But I have known known oh, for ever so long! And I have a short while to be happy!"
I believe, however, your advice is good, and I will tell you all that has happened, though I cannot look you in the face while doing it." She hesitated a moment, and her face was red with tell-tale blushes. She continued, "I have acted most unmaidenly." "Unmaidenly perhaps, but not unwomanly," said I. "I thank you," she said, interrupting my sentence.
There she must sit alone, and think of herself as of a maid who had most unmaidenly proffered her affections and had the same rejected. And altogether I suppose there were never two poor fools made themselves more unhappy in a greater misconception. As for James, he paid not so much heed to us, or to anything in nature but his pocket, and his belly, and his own prating talk.
"Then that is settled," said Clara demurely, and the talk drifted to other matters. All the morning the two girls sat extracting from Mrs. Westmacott her most extreme view as to the duty of the one sex and the tyranny of the other. Absolute equality, even in details, was her ideal. Enough of the parrot cry of unwomanly and unmaidenly.
And you should be ashamed and this I shall make you properly repent ashamed to force me to the unmaidenly course of insisting upon going out to you, 'rounding you up into a corral' that is the correct phrase, is it not? and noosing, no, roping you there." When he looked up from the letter the landscape was blurred for a time.
He advised that we return to the inn, there to await clearing of increasing difficulties. "What since occurred you well know. I hope to be forgiven for all my strange, unmaidenly conduct. The very worst has been told, except that words can never tell the painful experiences and sorrowful memories of the unhappy past."
