But as yet she had failed to sow dissension between the lovers.,When poor Mr. Carter died, the next day she said, "Now, Mary, you are entirely too young to live all your long years of widowhood alone, and as I am in the same condition, I will let my cottage, and move up the street into your house to protect and console you." And she did—the moving and the protecting.,"I'll tell you that to-morrow," he said, after a pause.,"From a motive of jealousy?","Wait," replied Maurice, in the same tone. "I shall not let him think that either of us is afraid of his charlatan tricks."，"Why in the world doesn't Elinor loosen up?" she thought, impatiently.，"All the same, she sees that Kendall Major is about to snatch the laurel wreath from all our heads, and she doesn't want to do without any of her ornaments."，The girl, who was unknown to them both, addressed them impartially."Thank you so much," she said in a tone of such even sweetness that Patricia felt uncomfortable, though she did not know why.

"Hannah Ann will be awfully proud, too," said Judith, thoughtfully. "She's regularly wrapped up in Elinor, because she's so much like Aunt Louise, she says.","Upon my soul!" cried the sultana of the inflammable name. "You're a corker! Do you mean to say, Miss Pat, that this buccaneer is the lady from the rural districts you were spouting about?","I can't undertake to answer all that at once, Miss Pat," he said.

She did it, and I'm going to die dead—dead!,Surely no woman ever in all the world read such a letter as that, and no wonder my breath almost failed me.

I knew then that I had taken his coming back lightly; had fussed over it and been silly-proud of it; while not really caring at all. All that awful reducing my waist measure seemed just a lack of confidence in his love for me; he wouldn't have minded if I weighed five hundred pounds, I felt sure. He loved me—really, really, really; and I had sat and weighed him with a lot of men who were nothing more than amused by my chatter, or taken with my beauty, and who wouldn't have known such love if it were shown to them through a telescope.,Much to Patricia's surprise, Miss Jinny seemed not at all unused to the reticent Judith's caresses, but stooped and kissed her on her white forehead, rumpling her pale hair with kindly fingers.,Then the lights flashed on, and she saw clearly the disheveled, excited assembly hastily hiding bundles of white cloth in any available spot, while hair and dress were hurriedly arranged and order generally restored.
