She did so, and Almira pouted and was grievously vexed. She didn't think so at all, neither had Mrs. Flight until until she began to be counted out. This led to war, and from pointing the moral Mrs. Flight now turned to adorning the tale with what "everybody was saying." Mira challenged her authorities. "I know who you mean, Mrs. Cranston and Miss Loomis.
It was a curious fact, that with one accord they accompanied Dick on his return to their boarding-house; and, while he disappeared through the door at the end of the hall with Miss Almira, some invisible leading-string dragged them up stairs.
Wa-al, ye see, I gotter wait for Jason, or Marty, to git me a pail o' water. They ain't neither of 'em been down to the house yit an' I might's well rest now as any time." It was this way all day long. Aunt Almira was never properly through her work. Things were always "in a clutter."
One of these, a Sarabande, was afterwards worked up into the famous air, 'Lascia ch' io pianga, in 'Rinaldo. When the new Hamburg Opera-House was opened in 1874, it was inaugurated by a performance of 'Almira, which gave musicians a unique opportunity of realising to some extent what opera was like at the beginning of the eighteenth century.
Katty was clearing away the luncheon table, and to her Almira faintly appealed for tidings, and Katty said that the masther had come in for a minute and walked up and down in the parlor and gone to the front door himself to meet Mr. Sanders, and they were talking out in front.
I hushed my child to sleep there, made it a couch in the hay, and covered it with my large shawl. Then I told Almira to stay there and watch over Noémi till I came back, and rowed across to the large island again. On the veranda of my old summer-house there was an awning spread out, which I took down; it would serve as a tent or roof, and perhaps later on be used for winter clothing.
Marian overlooked the "awfully." She was not going to criticise anything about Patty if she could help it. "I think I ought to get something for poor Miss Almira," she went on. "It is because she is so ill and couldn't make my coat that I could come to-day. What do you think would be nice for her, Patty?" Patty's eyes roved around the big store.
I advised Mr. Haley ter let well enough alone." "Then they know who is the thief at last?" asked Janice, quaveringly. "No." "But they know Mr. Haley never stole them coins!" cried Aunt Almira. "Wal ef they do, they don't admit of it," drawled Uncle Jason. "What in tarnation is it, then, Dad?" demanded Marty.
But all through tea it cropped out again and again, and after tea Willett and Sanders came back from the mess dinner and renewed their supplications. It was, at least, decided that Almira could not be left to mope alone, and as her lady friends had to go to the hop, why, she might as well go and peep in and hear the music at any rate.
If such an exercise as "introduction" could earn it, they were both entitled to good appetites; and, after all, it had been quite a nice little affair. Dabney was quite as tall as Miss Almira; but as they walked across the green, side by side, he could not avoid a side-glance that gave him a very clear idea of the difference between his present company and Annie Foster.
