Poor little homely drawing-room, - how ill suited for our large party. And yet we loved it. But somehow things looked forlorn just then. Mother's work-box had been tilted over, and its contents lay about on the carpet; and the window curtains were pulled awry; and the table-cloth hung too much on one side; and not a chair stood in its right place. I felt fretted and teased, and wished somebody would put them straight, though it did not occur to me to do so myself. My own seat was Opposite the fire, and on the left-hand side Francey and Ellie sat on the little ottoman, with their arms twined lovingly together after their usual fashion. Those two had been inseparable from babyhood. We looked upon them as children still; but though small and Slight, and peculiarly simple-hearted and child like, they were rapidly developing into woman hood. Already Ellie's fair rosebud beauty and sweet manners were threatening to win no small share Of admiration, though Ellie herself seemed so prettily unconscious Of her own attractions.
