Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Getting Along, Vol. 2 of 2: A Book of Illustrations
Yes-susan was, above all things, thinking of what she had heard of Stella Gammon - was drawing pictures of Stella for herself, and enduing her with every form and glory of human beauty; for had not David praised that beauty? And had not Isidore denied its existence?
But the child was thinking of other things beside Of Mr. Falcon's promise, that he should speedily come down to tell her about Stella, and of the quickness and eagerness with which Clarence had said that he would come too. And of other things. Of the gifts she was conveying in the basket that was stowed away under the coachman's box - the nice things for her father, and her self, and for the house; but especially, among these things, of the volume David gave her - the very book from which he read those poems to her in the garden yesterday.
She was glad that she was going home. Who is it that asks why? Perhaps it was because of the instinct ive conviction that home was the best place for her. It may have been the fear that made her shrink and trem ble so when David's eyes were on her. Must he not know how She had thought of him? It may have been Mr. Baldwin's constant Susy, or that more rare and remarkable my daughter, which excited and troubled her, and she wished to be beyond the sound of the words.
