The Huron Expositor, 1887-09-16, Page 2v ease saes! - e 2 ACROSS HER PATH. BY ANNIE S. SWAN. CHAPTER III. NO. 5 HILL SQUARE, ST.. JOHN'S WOOD. Breakfast was upon the table in the dining -room of No. 5 Hill Square, St. CHAPTER II. John's Wood. Behind the tray sat the (Continued from last week.) lady of the house, Mrs. Alfred Green - "It 'is for 'Winnie." she said to her- way, a thin, scraggy, anxious -looking self, and touched the bell. A smart maid -servant opened the door, and, in -answer to Miss Dale's question for Miss Guest, said, somewhat pertly— "Mrs. Guest said I was to show you up to the drawing -room when you came, Miss Dale." Miss Dale bowed, and beneath the broad -brimmed hat her face burned. The maid shut the door, and ushered her up the handsome staircase to the draw- ing -room. - "Miss Dale, Mrs. Guest," she said, and then closed the door, leaving Bar- bara standing just within it. Up from the rocking -chair upon the hearth rose a tall, haughty -looking lady, with a clear-cut, handsome face and a profusion of fair hair arranged in coils about her head. She was beautifully dressed, and presented in every way a complete contrast to Barbara Dale. She was alone in the room; Barbara looked in vain for the sweet face she had come to see. "Ah, Miss Dale, come to the fire," said Mrs. Guest politely brit frigidly( "These November evenings are very chilly. Are you quite well ?" Thank you, Mrs._ Guest," said Miss Dale quietly, and took the chair to which her hostess pointed, willing to endure humiliation a little longer if in the ends,he,could see Winnie. "I have been very sorry for you, Miss Dale," said Mrs. Guest, seating herself and crossiiii her white hands on her lap. "Dr. Guest tells me you contemplate leaving Little Wymar.' "To -morrow morning, Mrs. Guest," said Barbara briefly, and bent her eyes upon the fire, without making an eFort to continue the conversation. "He tells me also that you contem- plate earning a livelihood by teaching. Let me advise you against it, MissOale. Unless a young woman is pbssessed of exceptional talent and accomplishments it is miserable drudgery." Miss Dale turned her eyes a moment on Mrs. Guest's face. "What would you advise me to do, Mrs. Guest ?" she asked out of simple curiosity. "Oh, there are many things you might do. Take a situation as a housekeeper, or begin P, fancy business in London. I am sure I and Dr. Guest also, would be very pleased to do our utmost for you in that way." - Miss Dale rose arid put back her veil with a very decided gesture. Her face was very pale, save where upon either cheek a red spot burned. But the words she spoke were calm and courteous, and very far removed from the subject. "1 conclude I may not have the plea- sure of seeing Winnifred to -night, Mrs. Guest?" Mrs. Guest bit her lip, and rose also. "Winifred is engaged, Miss Dale. Good -evening." "Good -evening, Mrs. Guest. At some future day I hope to thank you for your proffered kindness, and also to show you how little I stood in need of it," return- ed Barbara, with a little scornful smile, which very nearly upset Mrs. Guest's aristocratic composure. She rang the bell sharply, and requested the maid who -obeyed the summons to show Miss Dale downstairs. Out on the graveled pathway in front of the Rectory Barbara stood still, and lookod'up at the lighted windows with yearning eyes. " Good-bye, my darling, Robert's Winnie," she whispered sobbingly, then drew down her veil and hurried on her way. Before she -reached the gate she WaS- startled by the tread of a light footfall behind her, and the sound of her own name. She wheeled round to see corn- ing swiftly towards her a slim figure in white, with a crimson shawl about its head and shoulders. In a moment Bar- bara had the figure in her arms, and for a moment there was nothing said. " I ran out, Barbara, through the kitchen," said Winnie Guest, in a breath- less whisper. "1 nearly died when I heard you going and thought I could net see you." "Did she forbid you to come into the room while I was there?" "Did she think I would contaminate you, Winifred ?" " I don't know, Barbara: ; mamma is very - pround, you know," faltered Winnie. " Oh, Barbara, are you really going ?" " To-rnorrow morning early, Wini- fred. I must be off now. Good-bye," said Barbara, steeling herself to be hard and cold to the rector's daughter. And I shall never see you any more Barbara," said Winnie, and the tender blue eyes were suffused with tears. " And I shall not know when Robert comes home." " Are you thinking of Robert still?" asked Barbara Dale, almost sharp;y. "You know what he is, Winnie, what he must be all his life now." " I know what mamma calls him, Barbara," said Winnie, pitifully. "But he is always the same to me. I love him still." Then Barbara Dale raised the sweet face in both her hands, and looked into the very depths of the iiolet eyes. " Winifred, if Robert in after years ever sought you again, would you love him in spite of all ? 4\\Then Robert comes back, Barbara, I will be his wife if he will take me," returned Winnie, with answering gravi- ty. "I would go to him now, if I knew how or where to go." "I You are a little fool, Winnifred," said Miss bale bitterly, though her heart was full of sweetness. " It would not do for Mr. Guest's daughter, for a relative of the Burnetts, to come down to the level of a common—" " A soft hand on Barbara's lips stop- ped the word. " Don't, Barbara. Kiss me, dear, and let me go, or mamma will find out I am here." Then Barbara Dale clasped her arms very closely about "Robert's Winnie," and bent her face clown to hers. " Good -by, my darling. Not here to -night can I tell you what you have done for me, what boundless good your sweet love and blessed faith in us have wrought in my sore heart. I do not know when we shall meet again, Wini- fred Guest, but I knoW that God will bless you always; you are His own sun- shine in a miserable world." •And so they parted. woman, past her prime. She was neat- ly and tastefully dressed, but she did not look like a lady, nor did her daugh- ter Julia, sitting at the other side of the table, arrayed in a dirty morning gown, and in a row of yellow curl -papers along her forehead. Deep in the col- umns of the Standard was he master of the house, Mr. Alfred Greenway, solici- tor in the city. He was a ,mild, inoffen- sive -looking man, who was evidently content to occupy a back place in his own abode: "Julia," said Mrs. Greenway in some- what angry tones, "1 tell you once for all, I cannot have you appearing at the table in that costume. If you cannot - dress properly you must not expect to breakfast in the dining -room." Julia buttered her roll in the most unconcerned manner, and answered calmly— " How often have I told you, ma, that my hair is a fright all day if I take it out in the morning. And what does it matter for only you and pia." "There is the example for the little ones, Julia," remarked Mlrs. Greenway, severely. "You are no use in the house. What is there to hinder you from -teach- ing the children if you liked, and looking after their wardrobes as well. I'm sure there has been enough spent on your education." "But I'm born. without any brains, thanks to you, ma," said Julia, who could be daringly impertinent to her mother without compunction. "And I was made for ornament, not for use; it is such a bore to me to do anything. When are you going to get a governess, though, ma ? The girls are turning into perfect tom -boys." Mrs. Greenway made no answer • sim- ply because that for the moment she was too angry to speak. In the constant struggle to keep up appearances on very limited means, she received no assistance whatever from her eldest daughter. Julia Greenway could spend money, but she could not Ihelp to earn it. • — "My dear," said Mr. Greenway, in his quiet, apologetic Voice, "here is something which I think would suit you •very well." "What kind of thing, Mr. Grcenway ?" aslsed his wife. "1 have no money to pendon rubbish." . In the early daysoftheir marriage, Mr. Greenway had been:much given to spending money on every new-fangled article for household use which he saw advertised, till his wife had effectually stopped -it by relieving him of the purse altogether. No, rip, my dear," said Mr. Green- way hastlly. "Nothing' of that kind. You were looking out fora young person to teach ithe girls'weren't you? Well, here's something like the thing— " Young Wornan desires teaching daily or otherwise; good references. Apply- Mrs. Carmichael, 14 Beltrees Road, Stockwell." "That is a young woman who knows her place," said. Miss Greenway. "Every penniless girl who lias to earn her liVing nowadays styles herself a young lady." "Be quiet, Julia," said her mother peremptorily. "Let me see the paper, Mr. Greenway, if you please. It is ten minutes to nine now.", Mr. Greenway took the hint and rose. Mrs. Greenway read the advertisement carefully again, and then laid , aside the paper without remark. Some more coffee, ma, please," said "Here's all the children, of course, before l've done. There's not a moment's peace in this house." In trooped the other five daughters of the house of Greenway—whose ages ranged from four to fifteen—rollicking children every one of them, whose pro- pensity for wearing and tearing clothes was a constant worry to their anxious, careful mother. THE HURON EXPOSITOR. 1 way's face and figure in sharp criti- . dem. "Is the young person who advertised for teaching within?" • asked Mrs. Greenway. ''l would like to see her for a few minutes." "Come in, mem, said Mrs. Car- michael, dryly, an. held open the door. Mrs. Greenway s epped over the threshold, and follow d the woman into a dingy little sitting- oom looking out to a back court. "I'll tell Miss Dale to corne, men," said Mrs. Carmich el. "Please ait down." But Mrs. Greenway preferred to stand and take a survey f the apartment. There was a fire in th grate, and a worn leather easy -chair d awn close to it. Across the arm la a fine Shetland shawl, and open book turned. face dciwn wards upon it. Mrs. reenway eyed the shawl critically and lifted the book. It was a volume of Carlyle, which Mrs. Greenway knew by repute, though she had never read it. She laid it down, and, walking over to the piano, glanced at. the titles of the pie es lying scattered on the case. She had but time to re- place them hurriedl when the door opened suddenly, and she beheld on the threshold the figure of a young woman arrayed in shabby mourning, but before whom Mrs. Greenway felt herself shrink into insignificance. And yet the young woman spoke with appropriate humility and respect. eass.„1 SEPTEMI3ER 16 1887 "1 an the person who advertised for teaching, madam," she said, in her clear, musical tones. Will You please be Seat- ed ?" s . Mrs. Greenway took a chair, and 14ok- in silence upon the girl'reface, which, ugh not beautiful, was yet the most ikiug she had ,ever seen. There ,was hing of the shabbaagenteel ydung y about her; she was a lady, Mrs. eensvay's perception told her at once. I came in answer to your advertise- nt," she said at lehgth. "But I am aid you might not Consider my situa- n worth your acceptance. There are r little girls4o be taught,and I require person I \ 'engage to overlook their rdrobes, and superintend the music d French lessons of my second da-egh- , who, is sixteen." , May I ask how you would remuner- ?" inquired Miss Dale. "1 would prefer a resident goverhess, course, to whom I should pay twenty - e pounds a -year," said Mrs. Green- y, feeling painfully conscious of the agreness of the .sum. "If you ard outside the salary Will be thirty- . e pounds.' "1 would prefer to reside in the hduse, adani," answered Miss Dale; "and if u are Satisfied with my accomplish- nts I shall. .'exy gladly accept the lary you offer. I can teach thorough glish and French, German also if de- ed, painting in oil and water colors, d good music." "That is quite sufficient, Miss— iss—" - "My name is Barbara Dale," said e young woman quietly.. "Well, Miss Dale, I presume you will , able to furnish me with a reference ons your,last employer ?" "1 have not , taught before madam, id Miss Dale; "but I can give you a ference if yeti desire it." She inoved er to a workbox on the side table'un- ekel it, and took from thence a folded per which she handed in silence to rs. Greenway. That lady glanced over carelessly and looked to see the name the foot. It was Doctor Guest, Little ymar Rectory. "That is -quite sufficient," she said. But I shall not trouble Dr. Guest. I ke you, Al iss Dale. May I consider ou have accepted my terms ?" Miss Dale bowed. "Thank you Madam, I did not espect ch a ready confidence,". she said ;very einthly. Then Mrs. Greenway rose, and :took er card case from her bag. Miss Dale ad the name upon the card—Mrs. Alfred reenwa,y, 5 Hill Square, St. John's rood. " Will you coine as soon as possible, liss Dale ? It is some little time since ly last governess left through ill -health, nd my little girls are in sad warnt of ome one to look after them." "1 shall come on Monday, IMrs. 4-reenway," said Miss Dale, liftink her yes to the lady's face. "Aid I hank you that you have spared me the ecessity of seeking further for my idaily read." A aurious look crossed the fsee of Irs. C-'ircenviety, and she answered, with nwonted softness— - " I hope you will feel at home in my ouse, Miss Dale. I am couscioua that he remuneration I offer is very poor in- eed. But it is all my means will per - sit me to spare in that way." "It is enough for me," returned Miss Dale. "And I think we shall be rnutu- lly satisfied with each -other. I shall' o my .duty, Mrs. Greenway." "I am sure of it," said Mrs. G-reenway. Then they shook hands, and Mrs. Car- michael came to show the lady out. Then she returned to the sitting -room vith an anxious look on her face. The second child of the family had been a son, but he' had died in child- liciod,a blow from whieh Mrs,Greenway's heart had never recovered. She had a heart, though it was girt about soclose- 1y with the armor of girt world that it was not easily reached. _ "Julia, you will look after the chil- dren," said Mrs. Greenway, rising sud- denly. "And ' see that :Patty has- the dinner punctually at four. I am_ going into the city with your father." " Are You going 0 get a governess, mamma ?" asked 1 Bessie, the eldest of the five, a gentle -eyed, fair -faced crea- ture, a complete contrast in every way to.her eider sistee. , " es Ydr " I: said Mrs-. Greenway, . , ea, , , her voice softening as it always did when addressing the pet of her flock. , Julia frowned. "I'm going with you, ma. It's such fun hun+ig up a governess and seeing the airs they put on," she said- "Bessie can took after thirais well enough." Mrs., Greenway liOaered her daugh- ter's speech altogether. There was con- stant warfare between them, for there was nothing in common between the 'hard-working, energetic mother and her indolent, frivolous, silly -minded daugh- ter. Mrs. Greenway attired herself in a marvellously short space.of time, gave her orders to i the , servants, end was ready to a,caoinpany her husband when he came dco,vristairs With his boots on. : "1 am goilig into the City on some shopping, she said in answer to his look of astonish -meet, " and then to Stockwell to see that young person ad- vertising for ag situation. I must get one at once, or the children will forget everything they have learned. " "Very well, my dear," said Mr. Greenway in, his mild way, and they left the heuse -together. Mrs. ' Greehway's 4hopping -was no , atriffing matte , for ne4essity obliged her I -to lay out evt ry sixpence to the,utsnost advantage. None of the neighbors who admired the pretty dresses -worn by the inmates of No. 5 dreamed of how little they-tost, or_that ;they were made by Mrs. Greenway's skilful fingers in the privacy of her own apartments. It was two o'clock before she completed her purchases in the city and turned her steps in the direction of Brixton Road. Mrs. Carznichael's abode was a tiny brick cottage standing in a dingy little garden back from the road. Mrs. Green- way directed the cabman to wait for her, and went up the little paved passage to the door. Fier knock was promptly answered by Mrs. Carmichael herself, a, buxom little wornau with keen, black eyes,- which travelled over Mrs. Green- REAL ESTATE FOR SALE.

She brooked no disregard of her aathori- ty, but she did not punish after the manner of others of her class. It was the victory of a strong will over Weaker ones, and Mrs. Greenway saw the gov- erness exact implicit obedience without troubles when she, the inothet, had little or no control.
