Cloudy Jewel by Grace Livingston Hill [active TOC for easy navigation]
Excerpt:
Ellen said this word "woman" as if her sister had already passed into
the antique class and ought to realize it. It was one of the things
that hurt Julia Cloud to realize that she was growing old apparently
without the dignity that belonged to her years, for they all talked to
her yet as if she were a little child and needed to be managed. She
opened her lips to speak, but thought better of it, and shut them
again, turning back to the window and the gray, sodden landscape.
"Well, as I said before, you're a very foolish woman; and you'll soon
find it out. I shall have to go and leave you to the consequences of
your folly. I'm sure I don't know what Herbert will say when he finds
out how you've scorned his kindness. It isn't every brother-in-law
would offer--yes, _offer_, Julia, for I never even suggested it--to
take on extra expense in his family. But you won't see your
ingratitude if I stand here and talk till doomsday; so I'm going back
to my children. If you come to your senses, you can ride out with
Boyce Bains to-morrow afternoon. Good-by, and I'm sure I hope you
won't regret this all your life."
Julia walked to the door with her sister, and stood watching her
sadly while she climbed into her smart little Ford and skillfully
steered it out of the yard and down the road. The very set of her
shoulders as she sailed away toward home was disapproving.
