And he thinks her like Edmund, and so she must be, for she is just like him. She will have such beautiful eyes. It is very good of her to take after him, since Maurice won't! 'And she is to be another Albinia. 'I represented the confusion, and how I always meant my daughter to be Winifred, but there's no doing anything with him! It is only to be a second name.
He knew when his father meant to be obeyed, and Gilbert managed him easily; but he warred with Lucy, ruled Sophy, and had no chivalry for any one but little Albinia, nor obedience except for his mother, and was a terror to maid-servants and elder children.
Kendal having given a gracious and grateful consent, Albinia was informed; but Winifred thought her almost perverse when a perturbed look came over her, and she said, 'It is very kind in Maurice, but I must speak to him. He was struck by the worn, restless expression of her features, so unlike the calm contented repose of a young mother, and when she spoke to him, her first word was of Gilbert.
Of course, however, Albinia would not believe that she was tired, and began to talk of the Osborns and their party she was annoyed at the being thought too fine. 'If it were not such a penance, and if you would not be gone home, I really would ask you to take the girls, Winifred. 'I shall not be gone home. 'Yes, you will. I am well, and every one wants you.
Albinia was so radiantly lively and good-natured, and her assistants, Winifred, Maurice, and Mr. Dusautoy, so kind, so droll, so inventive, that even Aunt Maria forgot herself in enjoyment and novelty, and was like a different person.

'You are exaggerating now, Albinia, and I do not wonder at it, for you have had a great deal to startle and to try you. Walking up and down is only heating and agitating you more; sit down here, and let me hear what gave you this alarm.
'Yes, as his eyes were suddenly raised and fixed on her, 'I got to that at last. No one has ever understood her, since she lost her brother. 'She has a certain likeness to him. I knew she was his favourite sister; but such a child as she was 'Children have deeper souls than you give them credit for, said Albinia. 'Yes, Edmund, you and Sophy are very much alike!
I thought people always died or went into convents I don't mean that Aunt Maria could have done that, but I did not think that way of hers was a broken heart! 'If she has had such troubles, it should indeed make us try to be very forbearing with her, said Albinia. 'Will you ask papa about it? entreated Sophy.
All the evening, Gilbert devoted himself to Genevieve, though more than one of the others tried to attract him, playing off the follies of more advanced girlhood, to the vexation of Albinia, who could not bear to see him the centre of attention to silly girls, when he ought to have been finding his level among boys.
