CHAPTER I
CATHALINA VAN BUSKIRK
ssss1
The maid was doing Cathalina Van Buskirk’s sunny brown hair.
“Do it up high, Etta; it is so hot today! I hope Mother will decide to go to the mountains soon!”
“Just as soon as your brother comes home, Miss Cathalina. I heard her say so yesterday.”
“Last year he met us there!” Cathalina replied, somewhat fretfully.
“Yes, but he is not going back next Fall, you know, and there’s all his things to come here. And then your mother said that she isn’t sure where she will go until she sees him and finds out what he needs and where he wants to go.”
“O, Phil’s always well,—I wish I were!” Cathalina looked mournfully and pityingly in the mirror, where she saw a pretty, delicate face with shadowy, dark blue eyes. A tear threatened to splash over as Cathalina thought what a dull, disagreeable world it was. A miserable piano lesson at ten o’clock, and she supposed she’d have to practice a while before; a party the next day, or was it this afternoon?—and the girls would be offended if she did not go. Always the same old thing anyhow!
