Her eyes were of that peculiar, very dark, very deep blue, which seems to be an Irish girl's special gift. Her eyelashes were thick and black, her complexion a fresh white and pink, her chestnut hair grew in thick, curly abundance all over her well-shaped head. Her beautifully cut lips wore a petulant but charming expression. There was a provocative, almost teasing, self-confidence about her, which to certain minds only added to her queer fascination."Oh, she's telling a story," whispered Olive under her breath. She settled herself contentedly to listen.

"It's a distinct insult," began Dolly. "I disapprove—I disapprove."

She sat down presently on the nearest chair and covered her face with her hands.

Susie, hold back your shoulders. Now, young ladies, come to the schoolroom quietly; quietly, if you please.""My conduct? What have I done?"
