Alie, who was sitting next her, gave her a little touch. 'Hush, Biddy, she said, 'that's just one of the things you say that sound so unkind. She spoke in a whisper, and fortunately for Bridget her father and mother were too much taken up with the letter to notice what she had said. 'I didn't mean, Biddy was beginning as usual, but Mrs.
'You never do I don't know how it is that I always get torn, said Bride dolefully. 'And oh, Alie, there is mamma' they were down on the shore by this time, coming down being a much speedier affair than climbing up, 'she will be so vexed, for I've got this frock new, extra to yours, you know, because of the stain on the other the day I spilt my tea all down it. I am so sorry, Alie.
'Then I could have got it brushed and mended before I told her, but perhaps it's best to tell at once, and she gave a little sigh. 'Much best, her sister agreed, and they went on to meet their mother. Suddenly Bride gave a little cry of satisfaction. 'Oh, Smut's with mamma, she exclaimed. 'I'm so glad. You can walk with mamma alone then, Alie, and Smut and I will come after you.
Celestina took hold of her hand gently. 'Don't, Biddy dear, she whispered. 'Perhaps when the doctor goes you'll see him; which did Bridget far more good than if she had overheard, as she luckily did not, Rough's remark to Alie: 'I don't think she's any right to grumble when it's all her doing.
But now she seemed so bright and natural 'She is quite a little girl, thought Celestina; 'and perhaps if she's the youngest she's treated rather like a baby. 'How very funny! Biddy repeated. 'I must run back and tell Alie and Rough. And have you a doll-house, little girl, and will you show it me? I've bought a chair too and a table.
Vane had made the girls get ready early and go a little way down the sandy lane to meet the two coming from Seacove. Bridget was gloomy, but Alie was particularly cheerful, and after a while the younger sister's gloom gave way before the sunshine and the fresh air and Alie's sweetness.
'I daresay I would care if I had anybody to play with me, she said. 'You know you're too big, Alie. I wish Celestina could come and play with me. Won't you let her, if mamma says she may? she went on, turning to Mrs. Fairchild. Celestina's eyes sparkled, but her mother looked rather grave.
And Rough is a great comfort, even though he has to be away and you know, Alie, she went on quite gravely, 'I don't think there could have been another as good as papa, not in the same way: he's just nearly an angel. Alie did not disagree. 'And Roughie will be home before your next birthday, you know. 'I hope so indeed, said Rosalys.
'My dear Biddy! she said at last. 'Alie, you were there? You don't mean to say that you let Bride run into the toy-shop people's house and make friends with their children, and and Mrs. Vane stopped short, at a loss for words. Mr. Vane looked up. 'My dear child, he said too, to Bridget, 'you must be careful.
Vane had sent it off rather too soon there was a neat little packet for Biddy from grandmamma, containing a story-book called The Christmas Stocking, and a lovely scarf worked in all kinds of marvellous Eastern colours, 'making one think of the Arabian nights, as Alie said, from the Indian cousins.
