"And yet you were not altogether surprised to see me," he rejoined, a faint jeering echo in his voice. Avery walked on till she reached her sheltered corner. Then she laid her work-bag down in the accustomed place, and very resolutely turned and faced him. "Tell me why you have come!" she said.
Although in the main it was the same as when Amy had been here, and her picture was still on Joe's chiffonier still subtly by degrees it had changed. Some of Ethel's clothes were lying about, her work-bag and a book or two; the dressing table at which she was sitting had been covered in fresh chintz, and Ethel's things were on it.
She drew forth a letter from a silken work-bag, and raised it, Livia's handwriting. 'I 've written my opinion, he said. 'Not too severe, pray. 'Posted. 'Livia wanted a protector. 'And chose what on earth are you saying!
I will come the moment I have put up my drawing." Margaret did wait, running over the keys of the open piano meanwhile. "Shall I call Sophia too?" asked Hester, as she took up her work-bag. "I dare say she never read any of Spenser." "I dare say not," replied Margaret; "and she would not care about it now. If you think we ought, we will call her. If not "

I knew Miss Curzon would be tired enough to drop down before we all got away, without being canvassed, if she has got two hundred hired help in the house.
At length Miss Beaumont, who had been sitting at work, went to fetch a book from an adjoining room. As soon as she was out of sight, Miss Augusta, going softly up to the table, took two apples out of her work-bag. "Oh, Miss Augusta, what are you doing?" said Emily. "She is stealing," said Henry.
The Princess, for reply, took out of her work-bag a book of devotions and handed it to the Abbé. He received it with a cringing bow, but as he glanced at it a suggestion of repugnance flitted across his lips. "Or does she care first to hear the trifle of news which I brought from Fontainebleau?" "What, have you dared conceal a scandal so long, Abbé? Let us have it instantly," cried the Canoness.
Lucina watched these little pictures, athwart which occasionally a bird flew and raised them to life. She held her doll primly, and her little work-bag still dangled from her arm. She would not begin her task of knitting until her aunt appeared and her visit was fairly in progress.
