My brother would like the girls to come some day next week, and remain one week." "What about school?" and Mrs. Fayre looked decidedly disapproving of the plan. "That's just it!" exclaimed Dotty. "We knew you'd say that! But, Mrs. Fayre, my mother says this is the chance of a lifetime, almost, and we ought, we really OUGHT to take advantage of it."
"Well, yes, since you ask me, I must say I was surprised. Especially when I found Dolly Fayre was the ringleader." "Oh, well, she DID ask you, didn't she? Maybe Dolly isn't such a quiet little mouse as she seems." "Dolly's all right," and Mrs. Berry spoke with some asperity. "Now, I'll send tea in at quarter past four, is that your idea?" "Oh, Mrs. Berry, won't you be present?"
"Willingly shall I repair to your bower, fayre ladie; but tell me, I beseech you, how many persons are signified in the world 'alone?" "Why," answered Lady Roseville, "I fear we may have two or three people with us; but I think, Ellen, we may promise our chevalier, that the number shall not exceed twelve." I bowed and rode on.
And for that it might the better appeare, that there was small hope of pardon to be expected of the offenders, if they did at any time neglect their duties, about due obseruation of matters of importance: Their orders, lawes, and decrees being once published: about the 8. or 9. of the same moneth, there were two offenders executed a little without the towne, in a very fayre pleasant greene, called the Ho: the one for beginning of a muteny in his company, the other for running away from his Colours.
Girdels of Buffe and all leathers, with gilt and ungilt Buckles, specially wast girdels. Wast girdels of velvet. Gloves of all sortes, knit and of leather. Gloves perfumed. Shooes of Spanish leather, of divers colours. Looking glasses for Women, great and fayre. Comes of Ivorie. Handkerchewes, with silk of divers colours, wrought. Marmelade. Raisins of the Sun. Comfets that shall not dissolve.
It was very beautiful, with glistening white and gold decorations, a thick moss-green velvet carpet and tall palms round the walls. Then followed a bewildering succession of gorgeous rooms, and finally they went up in an elevator. "Here we are," and Mrs. Fayre led the two girls into a large and handsomely furnished suite.
Berry would do all that is necessary in the way of a chaperon's duties, but these girls are pretty young even for that. They need a parent's oversight." Mrs. Fayre was about to say a mother's oversight, when she remembered that Bernice had no mother, and changed the words accordingly. There was some further discussion, and then Mrs. Fayre said she must have a little time alone to make up her mind.
"You recreant!" exclaimed the beauty, throwing down the novel which had occupied the moments intervening the completion of the extravagant toilet and the arrival of an admirer. "I feel very much inclined to impose severe punishment upon you. Is it becoming a suitor to play truant when he wishes to hear favorably from his 'ladye fayre'?"
Let's celebrate both on the fifteenth, that's half way between, and as we're fifteen anyway, it makes it just right!" This was agreed to as a fine scheme, and then Mrs. Fayre electrified the girls by proposing that they have a little party by way of further celebration. "Together, of course," she said, smiling; "not in either house, but an outdoor party, on the lawn, half-way between."
Sure enough Dolly's leg was broken, and Dotty had a fractured arm. Both houses were in a tumult of confusion as surgeons and nurses took possession and bones were set and splints and bandages applied. Dolly Fayre took it quietly and seemed almost awestricken, when at last she realised that she was in her bed to stay for several weeks. "But it doesn't hurt much," she said wonderingly to Trudy.
