in away all the love from Corinne and make her miserable. I’m determined to read no more books where the blond-haired women carry away all the happiness. I should begin to have a prejudice against them. If you could give me some story, now, where the dark woman triumphs,Moncler Mokacine, it would restore the balance. I want to avenge Rebecca and Flora MacIvor and Minna, and all the rest of the dark unhappy ones. Since you are my tutor, you ought to preserve my mind from prejudices; you are always arguing against prejudices.”
“Well, perhaps you will avenge the dark women in your own person, and carry away all the love from your cousin Lucy. She is sure to have some handsome young man of St. Ogg’s at her feet now; and you have only to shine upon him — your fair little cousin will be quite quenched in your beams.”
“Philip, that is not pretty of you, to apply my nonsense to anything real,” said Maggie,Hanoverian, looking hurt. “As if I, with my old gowns and want of all accomplishments, could be a rival of dear little Lucy — who knows and does all sorts of charming things, and is ten times prettier than I am — even if I were odious and base enough to wish to be her rival. Besides,Classic Cardy Czyścibut 5819, I never go to aunt Deane’s when any one is there; it is only because dear Lucy is good, and loves me, that she comes to see me,PJS Herreklær UGO Parkas, and will have me go to see her sometimes.”
“Maggie,Everton Drakt,” said Philip, with surprise, “it is not like you to take playfulness literally. You must have been in St. Ogg’s this morning, and brought away a slight infection of dulness.”
“Well,” said Maggie,Costa Rica Landslagsdrakt, smiling, “if you meant that for a joke,Frankrike Drakt Damer, it was a poor one; but I thought it was a very good reproof. I thought you wanted to remind me that I am vain, and wish every one to admire me most. But it isn’t for that that I’m jealous for the dark women — not because I’m dark myself; it’s because I always care the most about the unhappy people. If the blond girl were forsaken, I should like her best. I always take the side of the rejected lover in the stories.”
“Then you would never have the heart to reject one yourself, should you,Belstaff Ocelot Bunda, Maggie?” said Philip,UGG Adirondack Czyścibut 5469, flushing a little.
“I don’t know,Moncler Bady,” said Maggie, hesitatingly. Then with a bright smile, “I think perhaps I could if he were very conceited; and yet,Kevin Love Drakter, if he got extremely humiliated afterward,Palmeiras Drakt, I should relent.”
“I’ve often wondered, Maggie,” Philip said, with some effort, “whether you wouldn’t really be more likely to love a man that other women were not likely to love.”
“That would depend on what they didn’t like him for,” said Maggie, laughing. “He might be very disagreeable. He might look at me through an eye-glass stuck in his eye, making a hideous face, as young Torry does. I should think other women are not fond of that; but I never felt any pity for young Torry. I’ve never any pity for conceited people, because I think they carry their comfort about with them.”
