She was often heard to say that she was happier with a frank, original child than she was with most grown people. Boris was certainly frank; Nell was certainly original.

What was Washington, and what was this fine, tall, quiet residence? Was this "Nell's"? "Yes, this is it good-bye I must " "Wait what is your name?" "I haven't any name," answered the woman suspiciously. "Well pardon me! Here!" and she thrust a bill into the woman's hand. The girl stared. "Well, you're a queer one! Thanks. Guess I'll turn in."
It cracked the adobe walls of his house and broke windows and sent pans and crockery to the floor with a crash. Belding's idea was that the store of dynamite kept by the Chases for blasting had blown up. Hurriedly getting into his clothes, he went to Nell's room to reassure her; and, telling her to have a thought for their guests, he went out to see what had happened.
This jargon had been made up by Harry, but each member of the feud, as they termed themselves, had solemnly repeated it, even down to little two-year-old Philip. Suppose this wonderful, queer lady, who was making a sketch of Nell, was the new owner. In that case, it was Nell's duty to leave her at once. "I want to ask you a question," said Nell. "Yes don't stir, please ask me anything you like."
A silence followed. Barbara's face was not flushed now, but rather seemed paler than it was wont to be. I could not tell how it was, but I knew that I had wounded her. Is not beauty jealous, and who but a clod will lavish praise on one fair face while another is before him? I should have done better to play the hypocrite and swear that my folly, not Nell's features, was to blame.
She'll be alone in the world with Tibe if you refuse to sacrifice yourself in this way for her." Nell's face was now white and set. I felt a brute; but what was I to do? For the sake of every one concerned, I couldn't have the L.C.P. exposed, or be exposed myself, and the trip broken up at the last, in contumely for all. I hung on her lips. "Where is Jonkheer Brederode?" she asked.
A soft, transparent film of vapor lay along the horizon; the first sunbeam would dissipate it; to the maiden it exhibited that aspect of the sea which seems to blend it with the sky. Her view was now enlarged, without producing the impression of the boundless infinity of ocean. Harry taking Nell's hand, they followed James Starr and Jack Ryan as they traversed the deserted streets.
"That I may be one of the party when Nell's first excursion to the face of the earth comes off!" "So you shall, Jack, I promise you!" A fresh throb of the machinery placed a yet more considerable distance between the friends. Their voices sounded faintly to each other.
He arrived at the La Branche house early that afternoon, and found young Rilleau sitting on a box beneath Myra Nell's window, with the girl herself embowered as before in a frame of roses. "Any symptoms yet?" Norvin inquired, agreeably. "Thousands! I'm slowly dying." Lecompte nodded dolefully. "Look at her color." "No doubt it's the glow from those red roses that I see in her cheeks."
One morning Nell's grandfather sent her with a note to the little dwarf, Quilp; and Kit, who escorted her, while he waited for her, got into a tussle with Quilp's boy, who asserted that Nell was ugly, and that she and her grandfather were entirely in Quilp's power.
