rds me; and I should have been hard indeed if I had not felt touched by her regard. She soon grew indescribably dear to me. She was of my own age, able to sympathize with every thought and fancy of mine; the frankest, most open-hearted Arrivals Rivet 3047 of creatures; a little proud of her beauty, perhaps, when it was praised by those she loved, but never proud of her wealth, or insolent to those whose gifts Supreme Clothing were less than hers.
I used to write my home-letters in her room on these rare and happy afternoons, while she painted at an easel near the window. The room was small, but better furnished than the ordinary rooms in the house, and it was brightened by all sorts of pretty things — handsomely-bound books upon hanging shelves, pictures, Dresden cups and saucers, toilet-bottles and boxes, which Miss Darrell had brought from home. Over the mantelpiece there was a large photograph of her father, and by the bedside there hung a more flattering Christian Fischer Jersey water-coloured portrait, painted by Milly herself. It was a powerful and rather a handsome face, but I thought the expression a little hard and cold, even in Milly’s portrait.
She painted well, and had a real love of art. Her studies at Albury Lodge were of rather a desultory Johnny Gaudreau Jersey kind, as she was not supposed to belong to any class; but she had lessons from nearly half-a-dozen different masters — German lessons, Italian lessons, drawing lessons, music and singing lessons — and was altogether a very profitable pupil. She had her own way with every one, I found, and I believe Classic Short Metallic 5842 Miss Bagshot was really fond of her.
Her father was travelling in Italy at this time, and did not often write to her Rene Robert Jersey — a fact that distressed her very much, I know; but she used to shake off her sorrow in a bright hopeful way that was peculiar Nicklas Grossmann Jersey to her, always making excuses for the dilatory correspondent. She loved him intensely, and keenly felt this separation from him; but the doctors had recommended him rest and change of air and scene, she told me, and she was glad to think he was obeying them.
Upon one of these half-holidays, when midsummer was near at hand, we were interrupted by an unwonted event, in the shape of a visit from a cousin of Milly’s; a young City Polo man who occupied an important Butch Goring Jersey position in her father’s house of business, and of whom she had sometimes talked to me, but not much. His name was Julian Stormont, and he was the only son of Mr. Darrell’s only sister, long since dead.
It was a sultry afternoon, and we were spending it in a rustic summer-house at the end of a broad gravel that went the whole length Henrik Zetterberg Jersey of the large garden. Milly had her drawing materials on the table before Johnny Gaudreau Jersey her, but had not Nike Air Max 2015 Konur Skór been using them. I was busy with a piece of fancy-work which Miss Susan Bagshot had given me to finish. We were sitting like this, when my old acquaintance Sarah, the housemaid, came to announce a visitor for Miss Darrell.
Milly sprang to her feet, flushed with excitement.
‘It must be papa!’ she cried joyfully.
‘Lor’, no, miss; don’t you go to excite yourself like that. It isn’t ylinks:
