I don't know if he is coming after Miss Beecham or not," said Ursula, who thought the suggestion uncalled for, "but in a very short time you can judge for yourself." "Ah indignation!" said the big brother, who like most big brothers laughed at Ursula's exhibition of offended dignity; "and, by the way, Miss Beecham you have not seen her since that night when she was sent for.
Beecham fondly thought, for a duke's daughter, Phoebe junior took her departure, to be the comfort of her grandmamma, and to dazzle Carlingford. Her fond parents accompanied her to the station and placed her in a carriage, and fee'd a guard heavily to take care of and watch over her. "Not but that Phoebe might be safely trusted to take care of herself anywhere," they said.
Seems like the Lord done gone 'way fur off, 'n I kain't fotch him noways; but when white folks like Miss Ma'y Ellen Beecham come set down right side o' me an' sing wif me, den I know ther Lord, he standin' by listenin'. Yas'm, he shoh'ly goin' to incline his eah!" Women are women. There is no synonym.
I think it would be a good thing, as he is immensely rich, and a very steady young fellow into the bargain. They say no woman could live with him on account of his temper; but he has always been a favourite of mine, and we cannot expect a man without some faults. Aunt Helen remarked: Don't he surprised if you have young Beecham down there presently on an "asking papa" excursion.
She had felt the injurious line of separation between the shopkeepers and the rest of the world; at least she thought she had felt it. As a matter of fact, I think it very doubtful whether Phoebe Tozer had felt anything of the kind; but she thought so now; and then it was a fact that she was born Phoebe Tozer, and was used to that life, whereas Phoebe Beecham had no such knowledge.
You and I would never see a penny of the money, Henery, nor our children not a penny! besides the vexation of seeing one's own parents turned against one. I know very well how it would be." Mr. Beecham ceased twiddling his thumbs. The crisis was too serious for that indulgence. "The position is most difficult," he said, "I see it all.
His master appeared on the veranda raising his soft panama hat, and remarking, "Well I never! You're not by yourself, are you?" "I am. Would you please tell Mrs Butler to bring out grannie's parcels and post at once. I'm afraid to dawdle, it's getting late." He disappeared to execute my request and reappeared in less than a minute. "Mr Beecham, please would you examine Barney's harness.
We're as chummy as though we had been reared together," I exclaimed. "Did you get him to talk?" "Oh yes." "Did you really?" in surprise. When I came to review the matter I was forced to confess that I had done all the talking, and young Beecham the listening; moreover I described him as the quietest man I had ever seen or heard of.
Beecham stood behind her, more full-blown and more highly-coloured than she, but very evidently the rose to which this bud would come in time. Phoebe looked at her own reflection, and then at her mother's, and sighed such a profound sigh as only lungs in the most excellent condition could produce. "Mamma," she said, with an accent of despair, "I am too pink, a great deal too pink!
This brought a little cloud upon Anne Dorset's placid face, for she too, like Mr. Beecham, had a brother whose wife it was not agreeable to think of as mistress in the old house. She went on quickly after that looking in at no more shops. Janey did not often get anything that was the fashion.
