"Indeed they're not!" cried Patty, who was always ready to stand up for her friends. "The trouble with you, Florrie, is that you're narrow- minded; you think that unless people have your ways and your manners they are no good at all." "Not quite that," returned Florrie, laughing. "Of course, we English have our prejudices, and other people call us narrow; but I think we shall always be so."
Bessie had on rose-coloured brocade. Did you ever hear of such a thing at her age? She was just as gay and flirtatious as a girl, Charley said, and she sent me some of the cake and a bottle of champagne, which, of course, I didn't touch. It is a pity she is so loud, for there isn't a kinder heart in the world. Florrie and Algernon are going to New York on their wedding trip.
Spencer was overheard saying to her daughter, as she paused, panting and breathless, at the head of the short flight of steps. "Oh, Gabriella always had taste; I'll ask her about mine," Florrie tossed back gaily in the high fluting notes which expressed so perfectly the brilliant, if slightly metallic, quality of her personality.
And by and by Ted wiped his eyes and put his arm round the gal's waist and ses "'This is my intended, Miss Florrie Price, he ses. 'Ain't she a little wonder? Wot d'ye think of 'er? "'I'll keep my own opinion, I ses. 'I ain't got nothing to say against gals, but if I only lay my hands on that young brother of 'ers'
The Van Ness girls, though breezy in their manner, were warm-hearted and good-natured, and their boy cousins were always ready for anything, and proved themselves capable of good comradeship. The English girl, Florrie Nash, Patty could not quite understand. Florrie seemed to be willing to be friends, but there was a coldness and reserve about her nature that Patty could not seem to penetrate.
"Perhaps Forsythe need not be antagonized or coerced. Forsythe, do you remember a little girl at home named Florrie Fleming? Well, that woman is she. I appeal to whatever is left of your boyhood ideals to protect this woman, and care for her." "Yes, I remember her," answered Forsythe, with a bitter smile.
I knew it would be my turn," said Letty, with resignation. "You see, you took Florrie last night, and Aunt Watton the night before." George settled himself deliberately in his chair, and turned to study his companion. "Do you mind warning me, to begin with, how I can avoid giving you a headache? Since this morning my nerve has gone I want directions."
"Archibald has ordered George out of the house. He George, I mean had given him his promise not to see Florrie again, and it seems that he he broke it. There has been a dreadful scene. I never imagined that Archibald could be so angry. He was terrible and he is ill anyway and in great trouble about his financial affairs. I have been worried to death about him for weeks.
Now old pal I know that Florrie hasn't never warmed up towards you and Bertha and wouldn't never go down to Bedford with me and pay you a visit and every time I ever give her a hint that I would like to have you and Bertha come up and see us she always had some excuse that she was going to be busy or this and that and of course I knew she was trying to alibi herself and the truth was she always felt like Bertha and her wouldn't have nothing in common you might say because Florrie has always been a swell dresser and cared a whole lot about how she looked and some way she felt like Bertha wouldn't feel comfortable around where she was at and maybe she was right but we can forget all that now Al and I can say one thing Al she never said nothing reflecting on you yourself in any way because I wouldn't of stood for it but instead of that when I showed her that picture of you and Bertha in your wedding suit she made the remark that you looked like one of the honest homely kind of people that their friends could always depend on them.
Florrie was the new servant, and she had come into the house that morning. Sponsored by an aunt who was one of the best of the Calder Street tenants, Florrie had been accepted rather unwillingly, the objection to her being that she was too young thirteen and a half. Mrs.
