Oh dear me, just look at my bangs; they are perfect frights. Hateful things!" with another pull at the offending locks. "It's a swell house," exclaimed one of the girls delightedly. "Just let Miss Salisbury catch you saying 'swell," warned Alexia. "Take care now, Sally Moore, this is a very proper and select occasion."
It was a lie, and he knew it; the thought of losing her, cold and statuesque as she was to him, made him miserable, filled his heart with a keen pain a pain which had brought very near the inevitable revelation that he was bound to make to himself. Alexia raised her head and looked at him, but she did not speak.
Why didn't you have whole ones?" cried Alexia. "Why, we couldn't," said Polly, "and we were glad enough to get these. Oh! the Tree looked just beautifully with them, I tell you." "You see," said Phronsie, drawing near to look into Alexia's face, "we were very, very poor, Alexia. So Polly and Bensie made the Tree. Don't you understand?"
"To think of that Cathie Harrison making such a breeze," cried Alexia angrily; "a girl who's just come among us, as it were, and we only let her in our set because Miss Salisbury asked us to make things pleasant for her. If it had been any one else who raised such a fuss!" Meantime Dr.
I shall just tell the Cornwalls that you are coming," and she turned off to the corner of the avenue. "Indeed you will not," called Polly after her. "Don't you dare do that, Alexia Rhys," she said, with flashing eyes. "You are the most uncomfortable girl I ever saw," cried Alexia, stopping, to come slowly back. "You spoil every bit of fun with your absurd notions.
"Stuff and nonsense!" exclaimed Alexia angrily. "What is the matter with Polly, Jasper? She grows worse and worse. Why can't she let Charlotte Chatterton alone, pray tell. I, for one, should think mischief enough had been done by that girl." "You should think mischief enough had been done by Charlotte?" repeated Jasper in astonishment. "I must say, Alexia, that I fail to understand you."
A murder, Mademoiselle!" "A murder?" repeated Alexia. "Nothing less; and not a hundred yards away from this door." Miss Boucheafen had leaned back, almost fallen, against the window-frame. She was so pale that he said hastily: "I beg your pardon I spoke too abruptly. I have frightened you." "No, no; I am not frightened. Go on, pray! How was it? Who was it?" "As to who it was a man.
"Something must have happened to keep him back" as the boys, having nothing more to say, moved off. "Alexia, now I must go home, for I'm afraid " of what, she didn't say. "I'll go, too," said Alexia, springing after her, wild to find out what the matter could be with Joel Pepper, to keep him from one of his favorite sports on the pond.
"Yes," said Polly; "Mamsie brought it in here. And we've some flowers; Alexia sent them over. They're out in the back hall; we saved them for you to put in yourself." "Oh!" exclaimed Phronsie, "that's so good in you, Polly." "Don't stop now," cried Dick in disgust. "Faugh! you can fix flowers any time. Come out into the dining-room and you'll see something you'll like."
Oh, she's a precious nuisance," grumbled Joel, dipping his pen in the ink. "Well, then, I will write to Desiree Frye," said Alexia. "She was going to play a solo, Polly said, at the Recital. Oh, dear me, what shall I say?" "Polly said tell them all what had happened, and that she should stay away as long as Aunty needed her, but she hoped to be home soon, and she would write them from New York."
