The Twentieth Century Club rooms were crowded at the New England Conference and Festival. Miss Blackwell presided. A greeting from the National Association was brought by Mrs. Nettie Rogers Shuler, its corresponding secretary, and speakers were present from all the New England States.
In two more years now he'll be ready to go to Reno to college. Mr. Carson and the surveyor are helping him with his lessons, so he doesn't have very much time to teach me any more; but I am way ahead of Carrie and Nettie and the other girls of my age and I'm going to learn all I can so's I can help Tom.
The rain, Nettie saw, was hanging off; probably it would not reach Salem, Washington Square was already empty except for a small obscure stir by the scaffolding for the fireworks. A murmur of young voices came from a door on Bath Street. Such minute observations filled her mind; beneath their surface she was conscious of a deep, a fathomless, turmoil.
You can say I am your sister-in-law, you know, and then, perhaps, we can get into possession at once; for," said Nettie, suddenly turning round upon the doctor with her brilliant eyes shining out quaintly under the little brow all puckered into curves of foresight, "it is so sadly expensive living where we are now."
"I'll go and stop her," he said, and began a cautious retreat. As he moved he heard Willie's voice. "Well, my dear, let's be off," said Willie. Nettie rose with a sigh of content, adjusted her hat coquettishly, and smoothed her skirts. "I'm ready, Willie. It's been beautiful, hasn't it?" They came towards Charlie. Evidently they intended to regain the road by the same path as he had chosen.
The two of you aren't much more than two milk cans, and I'm sure you're not so big round." "Oh, but suppose mother should come," said Nettie. "She would be so worried, and I must be here to keep up the fires." "Then," said Edna firmly, setting her face against the temptation of the cheerful supper table at home, the dear mother arms, the greetings of the boys and all the rest of it.
The congratulations sounded quite sincere. If not much was said of the young man's personal charms, a great deal was made of his substantial qualities, which were indubitable. Nettie Gilbert was one of the first to arrive and took Milly to her arms affectionately. "My dear," she murmured between kisses, "I'm so glad for you."
From the fulness of her youth and strength strength so burdened, youth so dauntless and dutiful Nettie gazed with a pity too deep for words at the awful spectacle of that existence lost.
"'Ships That Pass in the Night," she had to answer. "For Heaven's sake!" ejaculated Aunt Nettie. "What're you going to write about that?" This was the question Missy had been dreading. She dreaded it because she herself didn't know just what she was going to write about it.
"And do you know," chuckled Mary, "Bill sat down and gave up spelling the word and he doesn't know how to spell 'ibex' yet!" The sun had set, when they got out at the end of the Cedar Walk. Ruth, who had sat beside Nettie Parsons, went with her to the principal's office and introduced her to Mrs. Grace Tellingham. Later Ruth joined her chums in the old West Dormitory.
