put on her bonnet, Lucy lingered to give an order to the servant,Jean-Gabriel Pageau Tröjor, and took the opportunity of telling Stephen that Maggie had no objection to seeing Philip, so that it was a pity she had sent that note the day before yesterday. But she would write another to-morrow and invite him.
“I’ll call and beat him up to-morrow,” said Stephen, “and bring him with me in the evening, shall I? My sisters will want to call on you when I tell them your cousin is with you. I must leave the field clear for them in the morning.”
“Oh yes, pray bring him,” said Lucy. “And you will like Maggie, sha’n’t you?” she added, in a beseeching tone. “Isn’t she a dear, noble-looking creature?”
“Too tall,Nashville Predators Tröjor,” said Stephen, smiling down upon her, “and a little too fiery. She is not my type of woman, you know.”
Gentlemen, you are aware, are apt to impart these imprudent confidences to ladies concerning their unfavorable opinion of sister fair ones. That is why so many women have the advantage of knowing that they are secretly repulsive to men who have self-denyingly made ardent love to them. And hardly anything could be more distinctively characteristic of Lucy than that she both implicitly believed what Stephen said,Alexander Radulov Tröjor, and was determined that Maggie should not know it. But you,Boyd Gordon Tröjor, who have a higher logic than the verbal to guide you,Jaromir Jagr Tröjor, have already foreseen,Al MacInnis Tröjor, as the direct sequence to that unfavorable opinion of Stephen’s, that he walked down to the boathouse calculating, by the aid of a vivid imagination,Rasmus Andersson Tröjor, that Maggie must give him her hand at least twice in consequence of this pleasant boating plan,Lovers, and that a gentleman who wishes ladies to look at him is advantageously situated when he is rowing them in a boat. What then? Had he fallen in love with this surprising daughter of Mrs. Tulliver at first sight? Certainly not. Such passions are never heard of in real life. Besides, he was in love already, and half-engaged to the dearest little creature in the world; and he was not a man to make a fool of himself in any way. But when one is five-and-twenty, one has not chalk-stones at one’s finger-ends that the touch of a handsome girl should be entirely indifferent. It was perfectly natural and safe to admire beauty and enjoy looking at it — at least under such circumstances as the present. And there was really something very interesting about this girl,Auston Matthews Tröjor, with her poverty and troubles; it was gratifying to see the friendship between the two cousins. Generally, Stephen admitted, he was not fond of women who had any peculiarity of character,Jason Chimera Tröjor, but here the peculiarity seemed really of a superior kind, and provided one is not obliged to marry such women,Shayne Corson Tröjor, why, they certainly make a variety in social intercourse.
Maggie did not fulfil Stephen’s hope by looking at him during the first quarter of an hour; her eyes were too full of the old banks that she knew so well. She felt lonely, cut off from Philip — the only person who had ever seemed to love her devotedly,Maurice Richard Tröjor, as she had always longed to be loved. But presently
