So King David said, Charlotte, but Im afraid David
wasnt a verynice man in some respects. We havent ANYTHING in common, you know, Miss
Shirley.
But you cant have been eating mushrooms as early as
this, saidAunt Chatty.
It was really dreadful to be so different from
other people .
Im afraid youll have her on your hands
yet.
Ive hardly eatenanything since I got engaged. This
must be a nightmare, thought poor Anne, wiping her nose.
Cousin Ernestine looked at her disapprovingly.
Mebbe it was only a shadder, said Cousin Ernestine meekly.
Hazel clutched dramatically at her
throat.
It takes courage, I can tell you that, Miss
Bugle.
But I always put my soul into everything, you know
I think sapphires are too dark for engagement
rings.
I never HEARD ofany one doing such a thing. Hazel
clutched dramatically at her throat. Ah, SHE was a thorough woman if ever there
wasone. MY highest ambition was to be a happy wife and make a happyhome for my
husband. And yet I cannot write out what burns in my soul.
Im afraid Ill soon be pickingat the
counterpane.
There was a timeshe was afraid he wouldnt come back
from the west.
