Cinderella fully expected this refusal, and was rejoiced at it, for she would not have known what to do if her sister had lent her the gown.,"Hope not," retorted Bruce amiably. "Now as to Elinor." He stopped for so many rings that Judith stirred and cleared her throat impatiently, whereon he grinned cheerfully at her and went on. "As to Elinor. She will keep on with the night life, but the rest of her time will be spent in the studio here, working on studies and cartoons for a big wall decoration for a church, and a stained glass window for the same church—a purely mythical one, my dear Dragon, but intended to develop our promising student more rapidly than the easygoing method of the schools. What do you say to the program, young ladies?",Slowly she turns her head away from him, and, as though following out a train of thought, fixes her eyes upon the panelled wall in front of her.,He made her one of those elegant and stately bows which was his greatest charm in the eyes of old Miss Acton, and left the berth, closing the door.,"I think Miss Jinny has hurt her hand, Miss Pat," she said with exaggerated anxiety. "She's got her handkerchief wrapped about it. I hope it isn't badly hurt—she doesn't look as if it were inimical, does she?"，“You bet,” was the heartfelt answer. “I thought you were a goner sure. But where is the boat?”，Mrs. Wopp came down the path walking as briskly as her generous avoirdupois would permit.

Not a pleasant face by any means, yet not altogether bad, as she tells herself in the generosity of her heart.,"None at all. But the wind and rain were wild outside, so that they may have drowned the noise made by those who broke in.",Still she hesitates, and he is not slow to notice the eloquent pause.,“Hello,” said the stranger as he grew nearer. “Where you from? The dam?”,There was no need to talk; in fact, the glorious beauty of the panorama spread before him would have made it almost impossible to talk even if Bob had wanted to.,"You bet. The wind's south. Have you got the worms dug?",“Yes, Aunt Grenertsen.”,"You are not my guest," retorted Jen, furiously.,"Don't you think it's the house, too?" she asked critically. "Some houses seem to be so alive and to belong to some people. Greycroft just fitted Aunt Louise, and when she left, it was lonesome till it found someone who liked the same things she did, and then it opened its eyes and waked up again.
