Somebody that believes I am constructed of wire and gutta-percha, I dare say." He leaned back, and watched the door very uneasily. A servant looked in. "Mr. Leonard, to see Miss Beulah." "Thank Heaven, it is nobody to see me!" The doctor settled himself comfortably, and laughed at the perturbed expression of Beulah's countenance. "Ask him to excuse me this evening," said she, without rising.
"This is so strange! altogether so unlike your usual manner, Maud, that there must be some mistake. The box contained nothing but your own hair, dearest." "Yes; nothing else. It was my hair; I knew it the instant I saw it." "And did it tell you no secret? Why was Beulah's hair not with it? Why did I cherish your hair, Maud, and your's alone? You have not understood me!" "I have, dear, dear Bob!
"Through your instrumentality," replied Clara, raising her friend's hand to her lips. "Don't talk any more; the doctor expressly enjoined quiet for you." "I am glad to owe my recovery to him also. How noble and good he is- -how superior to everybody else!" murmured the sick girl. Beulah's lips became singularly compact, but she offered no comment.
"That is kind of you, my darling; more kind than prudent; but you are not right." "Try Beulah, now," interrupted the mother, who, while she too doted on her youngest child, had an increasing respect for the greater solidity and better judgment of her sister: "let us hear Beulah's guess."
She made no reply, but, catching her sister's hand, walked rapidly homeward. Katy delivered Mrs. Williams' message, and assured Beulah she must make haste, for Miss Dorothy was displeased that the children were absent. "What! is she there again, the hateful " Beulah's hand was over Claudia's mouth, and prevented the remainder of the sentence.
"Yes, that it is, and there is a lady and gentleman here who must be very rich, judging from their looks. They brought Miss White." "What do they want, Katy?" asked Claudia. "I don't know for certain, though I have my own thoughts," answered the girl, with a knowing laugh that grated on Beulah's ears. "Here, Beulah, bring them to the dormitory," said Mrs.
"Mr. Styvvisont has arrive'," he said; "he waits you." "Welcome to our city," Peter cried, appearing in the doorway of the room Alphonse was indicating with that high gesture of delight with which only a Frenchman can lead the way. "Jimmie's coming up from the office and Beulah's due any minute. What do you think of the place, girls?" "Is it really yours, David?" "Surest thing you know."
Then the river on clear days, the glimpse of the sea from Beulah's hill tops, the walks in the pine woods, could Paradise show anything to compare? And how good the food tasted; and the books they read, how fresh, how moving, how glorious! Then when the happy day was over, sleep came without pause or effort the moment the flushed cheek touched the cool pillow.
Beulah's eyes gave a momentary flash; but by a powerful effort she curbed her anger and commenced the song. It was amusing to mark the expression of utter astonishment which gradually overspread Antoinette's face, as the magnificent voice of her despised rival swelled in waves of entrancing melody through the lofty rooms. Eugene looked quite as much amazed.
As Clara looked down the dim glade, and then watched Beulah's parted lips and sparkling eyes, as she stood bending forward with rapturous delight written on every feature, she thought that she had indeed misjudged her in using the epithets "freezing and heartless." "You are enthusiastic," said she gently. "How can I help it?
