Miss Castlevaine drew her lips into a smirk. "Trust the Colonel for buying the best of everything!" went on Miss Major. "What a man he is! I wish he were one of the directors of the June Holiday Home." Miss Castlevaine's face stiffened into an expression of superiority, as if she could divulge things detrimental to the Colonel if she wished.
"I didn't bring any such pile as you did, Miss Castlevaine, but that isn't to the point! They've got more money 'n they know what to do with! What they saving their old barrelful for, anyway? Not a scrap o' dessert from one week's end to another goodness gracious me!" Juanita Stirling sat alone with her roses, trying to think it all out. The other ladies were down in the parlor, where Mrs.
I'm ashamed of you!" "Oh, Miss Sniffen!" protested Polly, "you have to lie down to take these exercises! The book says so!" You must be in your second childhood! Now march to your rooms, every one of you!" She waved her hand peremptorily toward the doorway, and the culprits filed meekly past her all but Miss Castlevaine.
And I'll have the doctor when I need him don't you forget it!" "What's the matter with Mrs. Post?" queried Miss Castlevaine. "Something about her knee she told me the doctor was going to bandage it up. It was Mrs. Post, you know!" Mrs. Crump emphasized the sentence with lowered voice and lifted eyebrows. Miss Castlevaine nodded. "No favorites in the June Holiday Home!
If she goes to marry, I think it will no harm anybody, and I wish her the best things in the world." The little Swedish woman voiced the larger number of Mrs. Dick's associates in the Home. Slighting remarks were heard from Miss Castlevaine and a few others, but in almost any case they were to be expected. On the second day of Mrs. Dick's absence Miss Crilly appeared in Mrs.
There are hardly any rules, and visitors are allowed every afternoon between two o'clock and six. I guess Mr. Randolph means to make up to them for all they have suffered through Miss Sniffen. One thing I am glad of! The ladies have some new dresses! And Mrs. Crump and Miss Castlevaine have new winter coats. They were the worst dressed of anybody, as they had been there longest.
Colonel Gresham gave you the roses just smell them!" He lifted the box to her face. "Oh!" breathed Miss Lily in delight. "The china dish is David's present, and these cards are from Mrs. Albright and Mrs. Bonnyman and Miss Crilly. This beautiful waist that's from Patricia, and the box of handkerchiefs from her mother, and the booklet from Miss Castlevaine, and the photograph from Miss Major.
They soon came back With their hands full of ice-cream cones, which they distributed and returned for more. "Isn't this cream lovely!" beamed Leonora to the back seat of the third car. "Delicious!" responded Mrs. Albright. "As good as I ever tasted!" declared Miss Major. Miss Castlevaine nibbled hers for a moment longer before she spoke.
She runs over any blessed minute she wants to." "And she brings her friends with her," added Miss Castlevaine, "David Collins and his greataunt's daughter, Leonora Jocelyn, Patricia Illingworth, and Chris Morrow, and that girl they call Lilith, besides the Stickney boys up in Foxford huh!" "She must be pretty bold, when it's against the rule," observed Miss Mullaly. "No," dissented Mrs.
Miss Castlevaine's thick lips curved in a smile of scorn. "If she can't digest things, it won't do her much good to eat them," interposed Miss Major positively. "Nobody could digest these waffles they're slack this morning." Miss Castlevaine gave her plate a little push. "I wish I needn't ever see another waffle," she fretted.
