Do you think he would like your crooked ways about Mr. Eric? 'Hush, Leah! for pity's sake, hush! What makes you so cruel to me to-night? 'Well now, look here, Miss Etta; I am not going to be hushed up when I choose to speak; and who is to hear us, I should like to know? only it is your guilty conscience that is always starting at shadows.
Doyle hurried to throw the one window wide open, and to make the disordered room fit to be seen. "The child is very ill, I am afraid," said Etta, coming across to the window and speaking to the woman in very low tones; "don't you think so?" "Yes, I am afraid she is," said the person addressed, uneasily, for severe illness in a large, crowded boarding-house is no light matter.
All at once it flashed upon my mind that Miss Etta had told me that you had received a large cheque that night, and that you were going up to London the next day to cash it, and she hoped Dryden would not call again before you went. She said it quite casually, and I am sure then she had not thought of helping herself. Then the thought must have come to her all of a sudden.
Giles is rather idle about correspondence, and she helps him with his business and accounts. Etta is an extremely busy person. 'Miss Hamilton used to be busy too, returned Max quietly. 'I always considered you an example to our ladies. I lost one of my best workers when I lost you. A painful colour came into Miss Hamilton's face. 'Oh no, she protested, rather feebly.

"I don't know, unless we consult Mr. Morven."
There's many a woman in this world to-day that God is proud of; in the Homes and places what they're the head of, and on their boards and things they are learning that all women are their kin, and after a while they'll make other women understand. I'll see Etta to-morrow, and if she will come I will bring her to see you. But until Mr. Harrie is gone she won't come won't leave him.
There was in the immediate vicinity of Karl Steinmetz a sort of atmosphere of sympathy which had the effect of compelling confidence. Even Etta was affected by it. During the silence recorded she was quelling a sudden desire to say things to this man which she had never said to any. She only succeeded in part.
I tell it to you instead of leaving Paul to do so because I know his complete fearlessness, and his blind faith in a people who are unworthy of it. He does not realize the gravity of the situation. They are his own people. A sailor never believes that his own ship is unseaworthy." "Go on!" said Etta, for he had paused. "This country," he continued, "is unsettled.
Thus a society was formed which, for want of a better name, was called the "Do Good Society." Etta was unanimously elected president; four girls of her class were the officers.
He did not commit himself further. But he resented the suggestion. There was also an amusing phase of Nelly's declaration which did not escape him, the pot calling the kettle black. Etta Robbin-Steele did flirt. She had dancing black eyes that flung a challenge to men. But Nelly herself was no shrinking violet, for all her baby face. She was like an elf.
