"Not too sure," interrupted Dick, or Molly Richards. "For here is mine it came all the way from Holland!" "Girls! How can I take all these beautiful things? I am sure you must want them your own selves " "Not half as much as we want you to have them," declared Cologne. "The fact is, we were just waiting for such a chance as this. We are all gone soft to-night. Take care we don't kiss you, Doro."
But, Doro, dear, I do hate a flirt, and everybody knows Tom Scott is in love with you." Had Agnes actually struck her, Dorothy could not have been more surprised. In the excitement and confusion of the finish of the performance, there was neither the time nor the opportunity for Dorothy to resent such a remark.
I just stole downstairs to see how Ned was, when all at once some one rapped at the vestibule door." Tavia gazed upon Dorothy, pride and admiration beaming in her deep, hazel eyes. "Oh, you needn't tell me, Doro," she interrupted. "I saw the midnight marauder, as the poets say. Lucky for him he stood directly under the light."
"Did he?" replied Dorothy, absently. "And you knew, of course, about poor Miles Burlock he died when you were sick, so I did not tell you anything about it." "Yes, father told me." "What are you thinking of, Doro? You are not listening to me at all." "I have so much to think of," answered Dorothy, smiling. "I can hardly keep my thoughts in line."
He shrugged his shoulders, lifted his hands, his eyebrows. His whole being seemed as if it were about to mount ironically towards heaven. "You don't understand. I repeat it." Artois spoke quietly, but there was a sound in his voice which caused his frivolous companion to stare at him with an inquiry that was, for a moment, almost sulky. "You forget, Doro, how old I am."
"Oh, dear!" exclaimed Tavia, when the door had closed on Mrs. White and the two girls were alone in Dorothy's room, "I'm so frightened, Doro, dear. I should have gone home. What am I going to say to my father?" "I will do all the saying that is necessary," bravely offered Dorothy. "It was I who kept you." "Yes, and I know why." "Why, then?" "Simply to fix it up for me.
She did see something. "Look there!" she cried to Ned. "Where?" he asked innocently, "I don't see anything. Look again, Doro." She had the courage to look again. Then she covered her face with her hands and burst out laughing. "You horrid boys!" she exclaimed as soon as she could do so. "To play such a trick!" and she proceeded to bring out from the closet the "ghost."
Anyhow, when he spoke the words seemed to evaporate, and you had to guess what he meant. Likely there's a trail of frozen words all the way from here to Mars." "Hurry a little," urged Dorothy. "I am sure they are all impatient to talk to you. And the boys are just dying to hear about your adventure." "All right, Doro, I'm ready.
I might give out that we were having a 'doings' and so entice Ned Ebony, and a couple of the others." "You compendium of laziness! You proverbial prolonger! There, I have used up more energy in giving expression to those expressions " "Than I should have used up in expressing the whole art gallery via the Amalgamated Express Company. Now, Doro, I am going to give a dragging-down evening.
He had felt irritated for the moment, because he had for the moment been unusually expansive, and her announcement that Doro was to be there had fallen upon him like a cold douche. And then he had been nervous, highly strung from overwork. Now he was calm, and could look at things as they were.
