Instead of her skilful maid Alphonsine, a clumsy Swabian girl accompanied her the former had married Cassian. Barbara heard nothing of all these things; her recovery was slow, and every source of anxiety was kept from her.
"De old man is scare ver' bad. But pretty quick he's got hold of de cross-bar of de hoop, an' he's got his ugly old head up good. "'Pull me in, he say, ver' angry. "'I'll hain't be able, I'll say. "Jus' den Alphonsine she come 'long, an' she's laugh so she can't hardly hold on wis me to de hannle. I was laugh good some more.
Margaret did not shake her head this time, nor try to speak, but Alphonsine heard the little impatient tap of her slipper on the wooden floor. It was not often that the Primadonna showed so much annoyance at anything; and of late, when she did, the cause had been connected with this same Mr. Van Torp.
Non, M'sieu; dere was not one man out on any of de oder platform dat mawny for to help Alphonsine. Dey was all sleep ver' late, for dey was all out ver' late for see de offle fight I told you 'bout.

She supplied slow, pious Cassian's deficiencies in the best possible manner.

'I see that Madame is not listening, said Alphonsine, taking offence. What she said was so true that Margaret did not answer at all.
