It danced on the glossy hair and bright eyes of two\u003cbr\u003egirls, who sat together hemming ruffles for a white muslin dress. The\u003cbr\u003ehalf-finished skirt of the dress lay on the bed; and as each crisp\u003cbr\u003eruffle was completed, the girls added it to the snowy heap, which looked\u003cbr\u003elike a drift of transparent clouds or a pile of foamy white-of-egg\u003cbr\u003ebeaten stiff enough to stand alone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese girls were Clover and Elsie Carr, and it was Clover's first\u003cbr\u003eevening dress for which they were hemming ruffles. It was nearly two\u003cbr\u003eyears since a certain visit made by Johnnie to Inches Mills, of which\u003cbr\u003esome of you have read in \"Nine Little Goslings;\" and more than three\u003cbr\u003esince Clover and Katy had returned home from the boarding-school at\u003cbr\u003eHillsover.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClover was now eighteen. She was a very small Clover still, but it would\u003cbr\u003ehave been hard to find anywhere a prettier little maiden than she had\u003cbr\u003egrown to be. Her skin was so exquisitely fair that her arms and wrists\u003cbr\u003eand shoulders, which were round and dimpled like a baby's, seemed cut\u003cbr\u003eout of daisies or white rose leaves. Her thick, brown hair waved and\u003cbr\u003ecoiled gracefully about her head. Her smile was peculiarly sweet; and\u003cbr\u003ethe eyes, always Clover's chief beauty, had still that pathetic look\u003cbr\u003ewhich made them irresistible to tender-hearted people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElsie, who adored Clover, considered her as beautiful as girls in\u003cbr\u003ebooks, and was proud to be permitted to hem ruffles for the dress in\u003cbr\u003ewhich she was to burst upon the world. Though, as for that, not much\u003cbr\u003e\"bursting\" was possible in Burnet, where tea-parties of a middle-aged\u003cbr\u003edescription, and now and then a mild little dance, represented \"gayety\"\u003cbr\u003eand \"society.\"","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152648814832,"sku":"2940013517684","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013517684_p0.jpg?v=1763581870","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013517684","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
