Excerpt from The Princess and the Clan Luckily at this moment a diversion CC curred. The Wallaces arrived, swarming into the two pews ahead. Elizabeth did not know any of them to speak to except Mrs. Wallace, whom She had met officially as the rector's wife. But she dearly loved to watch them all. They seemed so happy and jolly and so fond of each other. One by one they filed in. First there was the pretty young lady with the fair hair and the forget-me-not blue eyes a regular blue and gold princess Whom Elizabeth of the raven locks admired tremendously. Next to her was the funny chubby-faced little boy in the white sailor suit who was forever bob bing up and down in the pew and turning his head in a thousand directions. His face was as a Raphael cherub's, but Elizabeth had noted appreciatively, on former occa sions, that his conduct did not always match his cherubic expression. Mrs. Wallace her self came next. Elizabeth had loved her from the first moment she saw her, though she looked so mothery it sometimes made a lump come in her throat she wanted her own dear little mother so. Aunt Evelyn was not in the least mothery. Poor thing! She had had scarcely any practice! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
