All answered in the affirmative, except Lulu, who said nothing, and then hurried from the room to make ready. "O Lu, aren't you glad?" exclaimed Gracie, as they put on their hats. "No!" snapped Lulu, "what is there to be glad about? It'll steal all papa's love away from us; Mamma Vi's, too, of course, if she ever had any."
"Yes, O Gracie, if I were only good like you and didn't ever do and say naughty things that make him feel sad!" sighed Lulu. "Oh do you know we are going to have a party on New Years? All the folks that were at Ion are to come; the grown up ones to be papa's and Mamma Vi's company, and the young ones your's and Maxie's and mine." "Yes, I know. And we're all to go to Fairview to spend Monday."
And when Susan was busy at the mirror, Mabel lounged on a seat near by smoking a before-breakfast cigarette. "I wish to God I had your hair," said she. "I never did have such a wonderful crop of grass on the knoll, and the way it up and drops out in bunches every now and then sets me crazy. It won't be long before I'll be down to Vi's three hairs and a half. You haven't seen her without her wigs?
In the north the Pope maintained friendly relations with the rival communities of the Lombard plain. But his most immediate and brilliant triumph was in establishing his authority over Rome and the Patrimony of St. Peter. On his accession he found his lands just throwing off the yoke of the German garrisons that had kept them in subjection during Henry VI's lifetime.
Mosquitoes?" demanded Russ, as much puzzled as anybody. "The red thing! With the pointed ears! And a big tail!" cried Vi in gasps. "What can she mean?" demanded Rose. But Philly Armatage suspected the reason for Vi's fear at once. She grabbed hold of Laddie's ankles and started to draw him out of the pipe. "You'd better come out!" she cried. "That old fox will bite your nose off."
"Wisht I know whar Miss Gracie done gone," sighed Betty, reluctantly obeying. "I saw her going upstairs," said Lulu; "so it's likely you'll find her in Mamma Vi's rooms." At that Betty quickened her pace, and the next moment was at Violet's dressing-room door, peeping in and asking, "You dar, Miss Gracie?"
The Highlanders of an early period were afraid of cannon, with the noise and effect of which they were totally unacquainted. It was by means of three or four small pieces of artillery that the Earl of Huntly and Errol, in James VI's time, gained a great victory at Glenlivat, over a numerous Highland army, commanded by the Earl of Argyle.
"Was he so sorry?" sobbed Lulu. "Yes, indeed; sometimes he hardly ate anything, and looked so sad that the tears came in my eyes, and in Mamma Vi's too." "Oh, I hope that wasn't what made him sick!" cried Lulu, the tears streaming down her face. "I'll never, never behave so to him again."
Ten minutes later Vi appeared in her filmy costume. Lewis's face no longer smiled. He was sitting on a bench at the farther end of the room, solemnly smoking a pipe. He did not seem to notice that Vi's whole body was suffused, nervous. "Dance," said Lewis. Vi hesitated a moment and then danced, at first a little stiffly.
"Yes, I remember," answered Mr. Bunker. "I would like to know what was in that. But I don't suppose we ever shall." "And I guess we'll never get back Vi's doll that I lost," said Russ. "But when I get back home I'm going to save up and buy her another." "That will be a nice thing to do," replied Mr. Bunker.
