When Mabel was told that she must go to England, almost the first words which she sobbed out were, "May I take Bobby?" "Of course, darling," said her papa; "Bobby shall go with you." But on the morning when Katuka and her young mistress sailed, lo, Bobby was nowhere to be found!
Neither her papa nor her mamma could go with her; but Katuka, her ayah, or native nurse, a kind, faithful woman, would go and stay with her always, and a friend of Colonel Howard, an officer returning home, would take charge of them both till they should reach London.
Mabel dearly loved her kind English friends, but there were sometimes chill wintry days, or dull rainy evenings, when she was very homesick, and cried to see again her far-off Indian home, her papa and mamma, and little baby-brother. At such times, she would often say to her kind ayah, who wept with her, "Ah, Katuka, if I only had poor Bobby here, it would be some consolation."
The faithful Katuka kissed the hands of her master and mistress with tears of joy while Bobby, grown impatient at not being noticed, called out sharply from his perch "Avast there shipmates! what a hullabaloo! Bobby wants breakfast!" St. Paul's Cathedral The Cathedral Church of St. Paul's is the largest religious edifice in London, and one of the largest in the world.
