Another purple person opened the door for them, and when Madam Weatherstone said, "We will have tea on the terrace," it was brought them by a fourth. "I was astonished at your attitude, Viva," began the old lady, at length. "Of course it was Mrs. Dankshire's fault in the first place, but to encourage that, outrageous person! How could you do it!" Young Mrs.
"If there were a hundred thousand she wouldn't go round!" answered Mrs. Weatherstone. "How selfish we are! That is the kind of woman we all want in our homes and fuss because we can't have them." "Edgar says he quite agrees with her views," Mrs. Porne went on. "Skilled labor by the day food sent in . He says if she cooked it he wouldn't care if it came all the way from Alaska!
"There's young Mrs. Weatherstone, mother " suggested Dora. "A nobody!" her mother replied. "She has the Weatherstone money, of course, but no Position; and what little she has she is losing by her low tastes. She goes about freely with Diantha Bell her own housekeeper!" "She's not her housekeeper now, mother " "Well, it's all the same! She was! And a mere general servant before that!
"Simply scandalous! Never in my life did I hear such absurd such outrageous charges against the sanctities of the home!" "There you have it!" said Mr. Thaddler, under his breath. "Sanctity of the fiddlesticks! There was a lot of truth in what that girl said!" Then he looked rather sheepish and flushed a little which was needless; easing his collar with a fat finger. Madam Weatherstone and Mrs.
Her eyes grew bright again, she held her head as she did in her keen girlhood, and her daughter felt fresh hope and power as she saw already the benefit of the new method as affecting her nearest and dearest. All Diantha's friends watched the spread of the work with keenly sympathetic intent; but to Mrs. Weatherstone it became almost as fascinating as to the girl herself.
"I'm a slow thinker," she said, "and this is so so attractive that I'm suspicious of it. I had the other thing all planned the girls practically engaged." "Where were you thinking of going?" asked Mrs. Weatherstone. "To Santa Ulrica." "Exactly! Well, you shall have your cottage and our girls and give them part time. Or how many have you arranged with?"
"So shall I," muttered Mat, under his breath, as he strolled after her; "unless the new one's equally amiable." Viva Weatherstone watched them go, and stood awhile looking after the well-built, well-dressed, well-mannered but far from well-behaved young man. "I don't know," she said to herself, "but I do feel think imagine a good deal. I'm sure I hope not!
And now to think that when Ross is willing to overlook it all and marry her, she won't give it up!" They were all agreed on this point, unless perhaps that the youngest had her inward reservations. Dora had always liked Diantha better than had the others. Young Mrs. Weatherstone stayed in her big empty house for a while, and as Mrs. Warden said, went about frequently with Diantha Bell.
But while these unmentioned surprises were pending, Mrs. Weatherstone departed to New York to Europe; and was gone some months. In the spring she returned, in April which is late June in Orchardina. She called upon Diantha and her mother at once, and opened her attack. "I do hope, Mrs. Bell, that you'll back me up," she said. "You have the better business head I think, in the financial line."
You have given it up to do a more needed work. I think you are wonderful. Now, I know this seems queer to you, but I want to tell you about it. I feel sure you'll understand. At home, Madam Weatherstone has had everything in charge for years and years, and I've been too lazy or too weak, or too indifferent, to do anything. I didn't care, somehow.
