Clo took for herself the brown coat, which was shorter than the gray, and pulled the brown toque well over her red hair. By this time Beverley had stuffed a roll of greenbacks, a chain of platinum set with brilliants, half a dozen sparkling rings and bracelets, and a flexible diamond tiara, into a dark leather handbag.
Beth raised no objection to the programme; indeed, the suggestion seemed to fill her with delight. She would not be a moment, she said. She would put certain necessaries in a handbag, and come back for the rest of her wardrobe on the morrow. Venner had expressed a desire that Zary should accompany him, but the latter shook his head emphatically. "No, no," he said; "you are going alone.
I am, as you see, more comfortable here than I was at Brussels; but I am still forced to keep my concealment. In five minutes we shall be ready." In a very short time the countess and her daughter returned to the room where Ned was awaiting them. Each carried a handbag. "We are ready now," the countess said. "I have my jewels and purse.
The tone in which he had said to Louisa, "Take Mrs. Cannon's handbag, Louisa," had been a marvel of ease. Louisa had incontestably blenched, for the bizarre Sarah, who conserved in Brighton the inmost spirit of the Five Towns, had thought fit to tell the servants nothing whatever.
She went upstairs to pack her handbag rather gravely. She was glad to go to the Drugg place to remain through the night. She would be near Nelson Haley! Somehow, she felt that being across the street from the schoolmaster would be a comfort. When she came downstairs Marty had his hat and coat on. "I'll go across town with ye and carry the bag," he proposed. "Going to the reading room, anyway."
Finally Joy remembered that she had some chocolate in her little handbag, and they divided it and ate it. After that life was a little brighter. "Do you suppose we'll have to stay here all night?" demanded Joy. "We'll freeze to death if we do." "No, I don't," said Clarence. "But, Joy dear, if we do " The mockery was all out of his voice. "Oh, don't talk about it!" she exclaimed.
Baldos followed, walking painfully but defiantly, and Aunt Fanny came last with the handbag. The guards grinned broadly as the corpulent negress waddled up the steps. The young officer and two men entered the door with the wayfarers, who were ordered to halt in the hallway. "Will your highness come with me?" said the officer, returning to the hall after a short absence.
"I telegraphed yesterday to my father. He sent a night letter to Dr. Prescott, and she got it this morning. She gave it to me. Here it is," said the Western girl, taking the crumpled message from her handbag and handing it to the teacher. Miss March looked amazed when she had read the long message. "Dr. Prescott, then, granted you this privilege which he asks here?"
"What time is it, Jeremiah?" asked Lucy. "I promised to meet Katherine here on the veranda at five-thirty. She left her handbag at Lillian's last night and we are going to walk over there before dinner." "Why, Luciferous!" Jerry fixed Lucy with an amazed eye. "Can I believe that you and your precious watch have parted company even for a brief half hour!" Lucy giggled.
The buildings were in good condition; everything looked substantial and homelike and her contemplation of it aroused in her a yearning for a house and land in this section of the country, it was so peaceful and dignified in comparison with the life she knew. She watched Trevison when he emerged from the house, and smiled when he returned the empty handbag.
