'No, I answered tartly; 'not good, nor a child either; I'm not reading, I've been thinking. 'Très-bien! she said, with an insufferable smile, 'thinking is very good also; but you look unhappy very, poor cheaile. Take care you are not grow jealous for poor Madame talking sometime to your papa; you must not, little fool.
I treated her as if she had human sympathies, in the hope that they might be generated somehow. 'Was there not a doctor from London with him a few months ago? Dr. Bryerly, I think they call him. 'Yes, a Doctor Bryerly, who remained a few days. Shall we begin to walk towards home, Madame? Do, pray. 'Immediately, cheaile; and does your father suffer much? 'No I think not.
She was laughing, and really looked quite mad. 'No, Madame, I will not go with you, I said, disengaging my hand with a violent effort, receding two or three steps. 'Not enter the churchyard! Ma foi wat mauvais goût! But see, we are already in shade. The sun he is setting soon where well you remain, cheaile? I will not stay long.
So I went on crying, with a clasping of my hands and turning up of my eyes, in incoherent prayer. I was not thinking of Madame, or of Mary Quince, or any other person, only babbling my anguish and despair helplessly in the ear of heaven. 'I did not think there was soche fool. Wat enfant gaté! My dear cheaile, wat a can you mean by soche strange language and conduct?
'Do you mean to say, Madame, that you really think those chisellings and screws are forty years old? 'How can I tell, cheaile? What does signify whether it is forty or only fourteen years? Bah! we av other theeng to theenk about. Those villain men! I am glad to see bar and bolt, and lock and key, at least, to our room, to keep soche faylows out!
'I could not say exactly, but for some days. 'Eh bien, my dear cheaile, I find myself better this morning, and we must return to our lessons. Je veux m'habiller, ma chère Maud; you will wait me in the school-room.
'Wat you mean, my dear cheaile? she inquired with a malevolent shrewdness in her eyes, and her hollow smile all the time disconcerting me more even than the suddenness of her appearance; 'wat for you approach so softly? I do not sleep, you see, but you feared, perhaps, to have the misfortune of wakening me, and so you came is it not so? to leesten, and looke in very gentily; you want to know how I was. Vous êtes bien aimable d'avoir pensé
'But, cheaile, it will not kill Monsieur Ruthyn to make his will; he will not come to lie here a day sooner by cause of that; but if he make no will, you may lose a great deal of the property. Would not that be pity? 'I really don't know anything of his will. If papa has made one, he has never spoken of it to me. I know he loves me that is enough.
There is no one! I said, looking round in wonder. It certainly was a strange reception at an hotel. 'Never mind, my dear cheaile. They know me here, and I have always the same room ready when I write for it. Follow me quaitely. So she mounted, carrying the candle. The stair was steep, and the march long. We halted at the second landing, and entered a gaunt, grimy passage.
'Hish! be quiate, cheaile, weel you, and I weel tale you everything presently. She paused, with her ear laid to the door. 'Now I can speak, ma chère; I weel tale a you there is bailiff in the house, two, three, four soche impertinent fallows! They have another as bad as themselve to make a leest of the furniture: we most keep them out of these rooms, dear Maud.
