He takes Lillie in a sacred simplicity quite refreshing; but to me Lillie is played out. I know her like a book. I know all her smiles and wiles, advices and devices; and her system of tactics is an old story with me. I shan't interrupt any of her little games. Let her have her little field all to herself: it's time she was married, to be sure."
I have told them all about it, and I have kept things up; but then there are so many who want to see you, and so many things that you alone could settle and manage." "Oh, yes! I'll go to-morrow," said John. "And, after this, I shall be steady at it. I wonder if we could get Lillie to go," said he, doubtfully. Grace did not answer.
"What became of Lillie when she lost her place?" I got up from the sofa and came closer to the fire. My teeth were chattering. "She lost her soul. She went in a factory, but the air made her sick, and after three faints they turned her off. It interrupted the work and made the girls lose time running to her, and so she had to go.
He is in no more desperate state about her than the rest of them; and secretly Lillie has as little pity for lovers' pangs as a nice little white cat has for mice. They amuse her; they are her appropriate recreation; and she pats and plays with each mouse in succession, without any comprehension that it may be a serious thing for him.
You have your Tuesdays, and go on with your Lecky; and I will keep a copy at home, and read up with you. And I will bring Lillie in the evening, after the reading is over; and we will have a little music and lively talk, and a dance or charade, you know: then perhaps her mind will wake up by degrees." SCENE. After tea in the Seymour parlor. John at a table, reading.
On the morning following the assembly at Liberty Hall, which resulted in the warning given to Master Theophilus Lillie, Hardy Baker, regardless of the fact that Lieutenant Draper's account had been given him in consideration of strict attention to duty, went from his home directly to Hanover Street, instead of to the hair-dressing establishment of Master Piemont, as he should have done.
Grasping his staff with a firm grip, to give a sudden whack, should the villain turn upon him, "What ye 'bout, sir!" he shouted. Theophilus Lillie was one of the six merchants who refused to sign the association paper not to import goods from England, thereby making himself exceedingly obnoxious to the people. The burglar did not reply, neither turn his head.
If they have left the word "obey" out, it is because they have concluded that it does no good to put it in, a decision that John's experience would go a long way to justify. "My dear Lillie," quoth John one morning, "next week Wednesday is my birthday." "Is it? How charming! What shall we do?"
Independently of that, Lillie felt the instinctive jealousy which a passée queen of beauty sometimes has for a young rival. She had eyes to see that Rose was daily growing more and more beautiful; and not all that young girl's considerateness, her self-forgetfulness, her persistent endeavors to put Lillie forward, and make her the queen of the hour, could disguise this fact.
"Help you " Half lifting herself up, Lillie stared at me as if not understanding, then the flush in her face deepened. "I help anybody! Oh, my God! if I only could! If I only could!" "I'm sure you can." I picked up the flower, which again had fallen. "The doctor says you can go in the country soon, but before you go "
