But how is it that you have got away from school so early?" "I will tell you all about it. There has been great trouble at Sunnyside. Poor Jane Denton, my special friend and room-mate, is dangerously ill with diphtheria." "Diphtheria!" said Lady Jane, starting back as she spoke. "But is not that very infectious?" "I don't think it really is.
"Did you know Jack invited me home with him for Thanksgiving?" he asked, watching her closely, hoping to see an expression of pleasure cross her face. But her eyes did not change. "That's nice," she replied. "I'm sorry I won't be there I've accepted an invitation to go home with my room-mate." David looked disappointed. Did Marjorie still care for John Hadley, to the exclusion of all other boys?
There was something in his bearing was a certain indefinable something about him that was not altogether unpleasant. His language, his bearing, and his general appearance all betokened a certain coarseness of fibre that somehow grated upon the feelings of Will and his room-mate, though they could not have explained even to themselves just what it was.
Here she found herself on a verandah facing the grounds of the school. There was a long bench, on which several people were sitting: she took a modest seat at one end. Two of the younger governesses looked at her and laughed, and made a remark. She saw her room-mate, Lilith Gordon, arm in arm with a couple of companions.
"Truly," said Joseph, "if I did not have in my pocket a letter from my former room-mate at Halle, introducing you as a manly, brave boy, and a future light in the world of science, I should suspect you were a disguised maiden; you blush like a girl, and are as timid as a lamb which has never left its mother's side."
Just's you say, not's I care." A few in the assemblage noted the condition of the boys and laughed thoughtlessly, but neither Will nor his room-mate was in a frame of mind to respond. Disgusted, angry, mortified beyond expression, they nevertheless assisted the boys to the seats in the taxi which Will had secured, and quickly doing as he was bidden, the driver started rapidly up the street.
They sometimes reminded Miss Clyde of a Fourth of July sky-rocket. They glowed in brilliancy and ended in nothing! Likely enough Blue Bonnet would finish the term quite adoring her room-mate. She ventured to suggest this. Blue Bonnet scorned the idea. She was sure that she should just hate her!
Well, the smooth way was very pleasant. I had it with everybody for a time. My little room-mate and classmate St. Clair was perhaps the only exception to the general rule. I never felt that she liked me much. She let me alone, however; until one unlucky day I do not mean to call it unlucky, either when we had, as usual, compositions to write, and the theme given out was "Ruins."
The subject of all this wit, however, remained profoundly, not to say happily, ignorant of the sensation he had produced, being occupied in disposing of the Dresden pipe, the Venetian chain, and the Roman conchiglia in his state-room, and in "instituting an acquaintance," as he expressed it, with his room-mate, Sir George Templemore. "We must surely have something better than this," observed Mr.
Her room-mate and friends had beheld her in this enviable state a number of times, and had pronounced her in boarding-school vernacular a perfect circus. "Can you cook things in your room?" Blue Bonnet inquired of Ruth, gazing at the chafing dish with the water steaming in it. "You can have a chafing dish, if that's what you mean; that is, you can if you happen to be a Senior.
