Julia's pride was wounded beyond concealment at this humorously intended suggestion of Nancy's. "Of course if Aunt Margaret approves, I have nothing to say," she remarked, "but I myself would never come to any private party where refreshments were 'solicited.' The very idea is horrible." JULIA'S PRIDE WAS WOUNDED BEYOND CONCEALMENT AT THIS HUMOROUSLY INTENDED SUGGESTION OF NANCY'S OF COURSE IF AUNT MARGARET APPROVES I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY SHE REMARKED BUT I MYSELF WOULD NEVER COME TO ANY PRIVATE PARTY WHERE REFRESHMENTS WERE SOLICITED THE VERY IDEA IS HORRIBLE
Hamiltons, than your tongue spontaneously exclaimed: "What a place for good times!" "I shall 'come out' here," Nancy announced, as the three girls stood in the centre of the floor, surrounded by bedsteads, tables, bureaus, and stoves. "Julia, you can 'debut' where you like, but I shall 'come out' here next summer!" "You'll be only seventeen; you can't come out!" objected Julia conventionally. "Not in a drawing room, perhaps, but perfectly well in a barn. Even you and Kitty, youthful as you will still be, can attend my coming out party, in a barn!" "It doesn't seem proper to think of giving entertainments when everybody knows our circumstances,--how poor we are!" Julia said rebukingly. "We are talking of next summer, my child! Who can say how rich we shall be next summer? A party could be given in this barn with mother to play the piano and Mr. Popham the fiddle. The refreshments would be incredibly weak lemonade, and I think we might 'solicit' the cake, as they do for church sociables! GERS HAD EVER BEEN INVITED TO DO SO BY THE GAY YOUNG HAMILTONS THAN YOUR TONGUE SPONTANEOUSLY EXCLAIMED WHAT A PLACE FOR GOOD TIMES I SHALL COME OUT HERE NANCY ANNOUNCED AS THE THREE GIRLS STOOD IN THE CENTRE OF THE FLOOR SURROUNDED BY BEDSTEADS TABLES BUREAUS AND STOVES JULIA YOU CAN DEBUT WHEN YOU LIKE BUT I SHALL COME OUT HERE NEXT SUMMER YOU'LL ONLY BE SEVENTEEN YOU CAN'T COME OUT OBJECTED JULIA CONVENTIONALLY NOT IN A DRAWING ROOM PERHAPS BUT PERFECTLY WELL IN A BARN EVEN YOU AND KITTY YOUTHFUL AS YOU WILL STILL BE CAN ATTEND MY COMING OUT PARTY IN A BARN IT DOESN'T SEEM PROPER TO THINK OF GIVING ENTERTAINMENTS WHEN EVERYBODY KNOWS OUR CIRCUMSTANCES HOW POOR WE ARE JULIA SAID REBUKINGLY WE ARE TALKING OF NEXT SUMMER MY CHILD WHO CAN SAY HOW RICH WE SHALL BE NEXT SUMMER A PARTY COULD BE GIVEN IN THIS BARN WITH MOTHER TO PLAY THE PIANO AND MISTER POPHAM THE FIDDLE THE REFRESHMENTS WOULD BE INCREDIBLY WEAK LEMONADE AND I THINK WE MIGHT SOLICIT THE CAKE AS THEY DO FOR CHURCH SOCIABLES
