Aunt Milly declares it was just child's play: that you girls had no more idea of doing anything wrong, of deceiving, than she had last winter when her new hat came from the milliner's and she decided to wear it back foremost and never told any one what she was doing." Elsie knew from his voice that he was smiling.
The only step she did take, in hope of bringing him nearer to her, was the going to Charlottetown to learn the milliner's trade. Poor Katie! if she had but known she threw away her last chance when she did it.
She then continued to relate, that after our late conversation, in which the discussion was how any one could get on in the world, something was also said of the way in which a woman could enhance the value of her talent and labor, and advantageously employ her time. The cousin had consequently proposed that she should make an experiment at a milliner's, who was just then in want of an assistant.
Blake hinder this friendship, as she would gladly have done, for her husband was on Lottie's side. "Let the girl alone," he said. "Too big for this sort of thing? Rubbish! The milliner's bills will come in quite soon enough. And what's amiss with Robin and Jack? Good boys as boys go, and she's another; and if they like to scramble over hedges and ditches together, let them.
For some time you worked in a milliner's shop in Beauchamp Gardens, and then you set up as a manicurist in Woodstock Street. Among your clients was the wife of the Vicar of St. Katherine's, Kew, who took a great liking to you you have extraordinary personal magnetism. Unable, however, to do more than pay your way at legitimate manicuring you "
"No, no; the bonnet's all I want, which I'll pay for on the nail." Wright took out a long purse full of guineas: then put it up again, and opened a pocket-book full of bank-notes. The milliner's respect for him obviously increased. "Jenny! Do run and see who's within there.
But he looked often to the side-door where the milliner's apprentices stood; and once he recognised the tall, slight figure, and the rich auburn hair of the girl in black; and then his eye sought for the camellia. It was there, snowy white in her bosom. And he danced on more gaily than ever. The cold grey dawn was drearily lighting up the streets when Mrs Mason and her company returned home.
A score of years hence that too, that milliner's wonder, will have passed into the domain of the absurd, along with all previous vanities. But we are wandering too much. Mrs. Rawdon's dress was pronounced to be charmante on the eventful day of her presentation.
"Listen!" said Popopo, sternly, for he felt the birds were getting the best of the argument; "the poor milliner's business will be ruined if I do not return you to her shop. It seems you are necessary to trim the hats properly. It is the fashion for women to wear birds upon their headgear.
And nothing comes up so ugly and outrageous but there are some who will have it in the very extreme." "I am quite aware of the pains many women take to be displeasing, but I thought you understood that was not 'my style, my taste," said Bessie, quoting the milliner's curt query at their first interview. "I understand now, Miss Fairfax, that there are things here you would rather be without.
