"And so do I"—"And I"—cried both Ruth and Olive.[Pg 27]

The Irish girl looked certainly pretty enough to win any number of susceptible small hearts at that moment. Her pale blue dress set off her graceful figure and fair complexion to the best advantage. Her mirthful, lovely eyes were raised to follow Dorothy as she disappeared into the house. Her lips were parted in a mischievous smile. She raised one hand to push back the rebellious locks of chestnut curls from her forehead.A sense of disappointment was over them all, for the new girl upon whom their present thoughts were centered had not put in an appearance—nothing was said about her—Mrs. Freeman looked as tranquil as usual, Miss Patience as white and anxious, Miss Delicia as good-natured and downy.

It is half-past eight now, so you have half an hour to get acquainted with your schoolfellows."Dorothy could not restrain her laughter."Yes, Olive; I'm very busy. Do you want anything?"

My dear Dolly, to hear that clock boom forth the hour at midnight would make the stoutest heart quail.""No, miss, that it can't," said Marshall, who felt as she expressed it afterward, "that royled by Miss May's 'aughty ways." "I won't keep Miss Collingwood any time, miss, ef you'll be pleased to walk on.""I don't mean that sort of learning, Bridget. I mean what you acquire from books—grammar, French, music."

"Oh, well; it's all right for you to be here, I suppose," said Dorothy. "What were you saying, Bridget? I didn't catch that last sentence of yours."

"Don't do that, Bridget," said Miss Patience; "you are disturbing me."
