Now it won't do a bit of good to try to stop me, dearest.
The best thing for you and dad to do is to come down at once and say
goodbye to me--but you are not to go to the steamer! Never! Please,
please come, for I love you both and I do so want you to love me.
Come to-morrow and kiss your horrid, horrid, disappointing, loathsome
daughter--and forgive her, too."
Mr. Blithers was equal to the occasion. His varying emotions
manifested themselves with peculiar vividness during the reading of
the letter by his tearful wife. At the outset he was frankly humble
and contrite; he felt bitterly aggrieved over the unhappy position in
which they innocently had placed their cherished idol. Then came the
deep breath of relief over the apparent casting away of young
Scoville, followed by an angry snort when Maud repeated the remark of
her girl friend. His dismay was pathetic while Mrs. Blithers was
fairly gasping out Maud's determination to go abroad, but before she
reached the concluding sentences of the extraordinary missive, he was
himself again.
