Home My WebLink AboutThe Huron Expositor, 1884-09-12, Page 22 IMP THEItHO ON E POSITOR. AN UNFORESEEN RESULT I— Avis Benton was a disappointed girl. It was true that she had Succeeded in e • compassing that visit to the city which had for years been her hope and ambi- tion. But, as is too oftenthe case, the reality had fallen ter short of the anti- CiptiQIL " It is all very pleasant," ahe admit- ted to herself, and Cousin Rebecca and John are as kind as they can be, but it isn't what I thought it was going to be." In truth and in fact Avis had pictured to herself a whirl of gay ' festivities— ,promenadea by day, parties and soirees by night; but it happened that John Weldon, her second cousin, was, the foreman in a brass foundry, and after it. day's toil naturally preferred the rest and. quiet of his own fireside, although he had taken Avis to a lecture or two at the Young Men's Christian Association, and a quiet stroll through. the galleries • of the Aoadeiny of Design. Becky, his sister, was one of those domestic humdrum little women, who considered pudding making and stock- ing -darning more necessary than strolls along the crowded throughfares, and endless shopping excursions. No expedition to the theatre had been proposed and of the opera, Avis' one dream and aspiration, not a word had been spoken until one evening she her- self spoke out. "1 should like to go to the opera," said she abruptly. John looked mildly from his news- paper. Becky paused in the middle of a seam-. The opera ?" said John. "But that's a very expensive place, Avis." "Nobody but rich people can afford the opera, remarked Becky, resuming her Work. “ But just for once," pleaded Avis. John shook hie head. "It would _hardly be consistent," said he. But did you never go ?" she- urged. Never, Avis," he answered. "But you must have wanted to go ?" He smiled. "I try not to want things that I can't afford;" said he. ; Nevertheless, the next morning he 'iiverit to the box-office of the Opera House and asked the price of seats for that evening. " Ten shillings," the man indifferently answered. John Weldon stood amazed. . Have you no seats cheaper than that ?" he asked. Nothing cheaper. Move on, please --you're stopping the line," said. the man impatiently. And so Jahn went back to the braze formdry. "Ten shillings for hearing a lot of foreigners screetch a squall !" said John who was not an adorer of music. "Ten shillings for getting into a crowd of fashionable people, who care no more about yon than if you were a ca,bhorse 1 I should like to have gratified Avis' fancy, but it's quite oat of the ques- tion.' -Avis listened silently to his recital of the morning's adventure. " Yes," she said when he paused for a reply'," the seats are dear. But Patti • always commands fancy prices." "I'd a deal sooner hear you Bing Kathleen Mavourneen,' " said honest John. "That shows how little you know about music," said Avis, with a tinge of scorn in her voice. “ I know what suits me," said the inveterately good humored brass -foun- der. The next day, Rebecca wanted some alate-colored ribbon for a hat which oho was trimming over for the second. time. "1 must wait until afternoon," she said. "1 can't spare time to go out this morning." "Let me go for it, Becky," said Avis. • "It's such a bright, beautiful day, and I am so tired of sitting in the house." Rebecca looked irresolute. "Do you think you oen find your way to Massey's shop?" said she. "1 don't think you can match it anywhere else." "01 course I can," said Avis. '" Haven't I been there half -a -dozen times already? Give me the sanaple.r • And, with the narrow slip of slate - colored ribbon in ls.er purse, Axis set cheerfully forth. Soft and bland lay the spring stin- t- shine on the pavements; shrill sounded i the voice of itinerant flower -vendors down the street; and Avis involuntarily hummed a time as she moved lightly' along. For the first time since she had come to Landon she felt a longing to be in the spring meadows at home, gathering violets and dandeloins, and watching the frolics of the lamhs. Early .though it was, however, there I was the usual orush and crowd at Mas- Rey's, and it was some time before she could get waited on. When at last the little parcel and the change came back to her, a penny rolled Davey upon the floor. She stooped to_recover it, and there, close to the counter, ander the feet of the throng, lay two tickets, folded to- gether, with little coupon cheeks doubl- ed over. "Grand Italian Opera," she read, as she picked them'up. "Did you find the penny, miss ?" said 1 the attentive shop -girl. "Yes, I found it," said Avis with her cheeks reddened, perhaps by etooping, as she turned and hurried away. _ Her heart beat triumphantly. Her feet seemed winged. Sonne good fairy had sent an answer to her hopes and longings at last. Whitt would John Weldon say? At all events he could scarcely refuse to be her escort, now that reserved seats were provided. And. she purchased a pair of primrose -colored kid gloves, and a new lace frill for her neck, and came home with a heart as light as a feather. John was all amazement when Avis triumphantly showed him the tickets. " Avis, you did not buy these?" he - exclaimed. No, I didn't buy them," she said. " You'll take me, John, won't you?" " Then where did they come from ?" "They were—a present 1" said Avis, with burning cheeks. John looked gravely at her. And," she added, " I shall take it Very unkind of you, John, if you refuse to mod me." "Oh, rn escort you fast enough," said John simply. "I can't say I ap- prove of opera going far people in o rank of life." -" Our rank of life, indeed 1' flashe Avis. "1 consider myself as good its' anybody!" "As good—yes i" assente John. "Dat there 18 a fitness in all thin,* Avis. It's only rich people that c44 indulge themseives with so expensive aa amusement as the opera.", "Well," said Avis brightly, "let ts play, just this once, that we ,are rife people. Patti shall warble us into El sium, and well forget—a little While 4.t lest—that we belong to the :hive 4f working bees." "Do we want to forget it, Avis ?" "01 course we do !!' said AVii3. In very truth, the girl almost believed herself in enchanted land When she 8 t that evening in the glittering parqu t • of the Opera House, the diamond sparkling crowd aro the sound of the great ca voice seeming to lift her into boundle space. "Oh, listen, John—listen I' he on d ecstatically. "Oh, if 1 °out alwa s live like this 1" The opera was "-Faust," and as Par i stood trying on the fatal box of trinke a before the glass, and warbling he deli ions " Jewel Song," Avie was arous d from her trance of delight by a slig t confesion in the adjoining seat A roan had made his way through t e crowd, and laid his hand on Joha We don's shoulder with an authorativa pressure. li "My friend," he said in a low voic "you are wanted." John started -up, white and breat less. • "Has ani.thing happened ?" paid le(1. " Li my sister ill?" "Now, don't make a fuss," amid t4: stranger, turning back the lapel of hi coat far enough to display a policeman' uniform. "And don't play igsnocen It ain't a-goin' to pay. Yon are arreste for stealing a lady's puree, a;nd th quieter you come alopg with ' e th better it will be for all parties." So John Weldon was takem way t the station -house, and A.vis was carrie fainting out into the lobby. Was it a frightful vision? o wha was it that had thus blighted he drea of delight? She was lying on tbe,sofa tLe nex noon, her throbbing head bandimed i cold water, her heart fall of sick terror when the door opened and in came Re- becca. , "You have been to thepolice ourt ?' said Avis, starting up. ; "Oh, wJiat did they say? What does it all me n ?" " It's all right enough' said R becca, slowly. "No thanks to you, fihough, Avie Bouton! It's you and youe sense- less pride that have brought. thia dis- grace upon a man who was neVer yet put to shime before his felloweareatur- es! You see, there was a robiterY at Massy's yesterday morning—a lady lost her purse with fifteen pounds, and a pair of diamond earrings, and th se two opera tickets in it. Aud the thief, it's likely, flung away the ticketa, let they should be a clue to track him, and the! evil one pat 'em directly in yo# way, Avis Benton. For the lady knew the number, and the polioe was put bn the track to see who presented the ti kets !" “ I—I am very sorry," sighe4l Avis with a shudder. ' "But just as they were clloss ex- amining poor John," added Rebecca,, “ in comes the real thief, who had pawned the earrings; and had the notes still unchanged in his possession. And he confessed everything, and of course John was exonerated frkm all blame." , "Is he coming back here" said Avis, ; faintly. "Not lentil evening, df coarse. Why should. he? Hasn't he his ,busiaess to et scent nd h tetra, 8 tend to ? 1 Rebecca went away, upstairs, andl when she came baolt the sofa wa,s empty, and a little note lay on thel table. "Dear Rebecca," it said, " hay gon,•3 home. I thank you for yo kind nese, but I could not stay to fac Johne after all my folly, and the tro ble in which I have involved him. • Ple se asb! him to forgive poor A S." She was sitting in the farrhhousel door three days afterward, feedng the brood of little golden dqcklin 9 that crowded with soft ohirpiags arou d her, when a step sounded on the softl grass, and. the garden mete clicked che rfully. She started up with a cry of j "Oh, John!" He held out both hands: "You are glad -to see ham/Avis ?" said he. " Not if you have -come to repraa'ch me as I deserve," murnaured Avi ,burst- ing into tears. ";Never that,d ear," said hones John,i still retaining the cold little and in his. "I've come to tell you how tionelea the old house seems without yo come to ask on to go back the te witht me as my wife. Will yo, dear Avis ?' “ Oh, John' ! But Rebecca?" "Don't worry about Rebecca," said , John, - cheerily. "Rebecca says she I didn't know, until you were goae, how terribly she should miss you. Answer me, Avis; will you go back with me?" -And Avis,averting her eyes,whi pered, 44 yes:, 1 So our little country lass went to the city to live after all. But she never again asked hr hue - band to take her to the opera. After all, as John said, “ Th re was a fitness in things !" The Royal Trapping A contemporary is Wroth be ause I stated last week that most of th plate; pictures, china and valuable fat niture at Windsor Catetle belong to the Crown (i. e., practically to the countr ), and are not the private possessiens lof the Sovereign. This is alleged to be ".not 'true," 'because George IV " sold con- siderable amount of the prope ty re- ferred to with the fall knowledge of the country, and certainly with the i plied sanction oft the then ministry." tda to . be hoped that the public rigi4is are somewhat more accurately defin d than in the palmy days of Toryism j which preceded the fall of the Day° o- Wel- lingston's Ministry. •The peop14 then were in 'pitiable ignorance, whi e the Tory M nistry Was over neck anI ears in scand lous jobbery of every sot and kind; Every judicious Tory would de, sire to bury the doings of that opch in oblivion. . The reed fact is th4t the Queen owns all the property refeijred to, justas the Duke of Marlborougl owns the Blenheim pictures ; and co plete lists of everything in the various alaces are carefully kept by the officials of the Lord Chamberlain's and Lord Steward's departments and nothingl in thosetlists could either be sold or giesen away. If anything which 'belongs to Windsor is removed to Osborne, r ant i ing at Buckingham Palace is tiaker4 o Bal- moral, a careful note is ins of the transaction, leo that in the evle t of a atomise of the Crown the tartlet could be reclaimed for the palitee to hich it belongs.
