Come, child, and lay by this wimple. 'Tis man's duty to hie him abed now. Let's do our duty. 'Tis all man has left to me leave to do as I am bidden. What was that bruit I heard without, an half-hour gone?" Amphillis, in answer, for Perrote was unable to speak, told the story of Agatha's mischievous trick. The Countess laughed.
Take wid you as much of dem as you can get. Now run de dark is gekommen." It relieved Amphillis to find that she needed to carry nothing with, her except clothes, brains, and prudence. The first she knew that her uncle would supply; for the second, she could only take all she had; and as to the last, she must do her best to cultivate it.
She saith 'tis thy doing, Phyllis." "Mine?" exclaimed Amphillis. "She saith so. I wis not how. And art happy here, my maid? Doth thy dame entreat thee well? and be thy fellows pleasant company? Because if no, there's room for thee in the patty-shop, I can tell thee. Saundrina's wed, and Ricarda looks to be, and my wife and I should be full fain to have thee back for our daughter.
Norman Hylton sat opposite to Amphillis at the supper-table, in the only manner in which people could sit opposite to each other at a mediaeval table namely, when it was in the form of a squared horseshoe. The table, which was always one or more boards laid across trestles, was very narrow, the inside of the horseshoe being reserved for the servants to hand the dishes.
"Ay, that was the cause," said Marabel, softly. "He came because shall we say? He so loved Amphillis Neville, that He could not do without her in Heaven: and as she could win there none other way than by the laying down of His life, He came and laid it down." "Marabel! Never heard I none to speak after this manner! Soothly, our Lord died for us: but "
"That my cousin is," said Alexandra, making fun of the German girl's somewhat broken English, though in truth she spoke it fairly for a foreigner. But Amphillis said gently "That am I, Mistress Regina; and I take it full kindly of you, that you should suffer me to meet this gentlewoman in your chamber." "So!" was the answer. "You shall better serve of de three."
"But if she ask?" "Parry her inquirations as best thou mayest." Amphillis knew in her heart that she was an exceedingly bad hand at that business; but she was accustomed to do as she was told, and accordingly she said no more. She was relieved to find the Countess asleep, the cry for admission not having been loud enough to wake her. She sat down and waited.
Be discreet, and do not get into any foolish entanglements of any sort." Amphillis asked only one question Would the lady be pleased to tell her the name and address of her future mistress? "Your mistress lives in Derbyshire. You will hear her name on the way." And with a patronising nod to the girls, and another to Regina, the lady left the room.
There were therefore some yards of distance between opposite neighbours. Amphillis studied her neighbour, so far as an occasional glance in his direction allowed her to do so, and she came to the conclusion that there was nothing remarkable about him except the expression of his face. He was neither tall nor short, neither handsome nor ugly, neither lively nor morose.
Lammas Day dawned warm and bright, and after early mass in the Church of Saint Mary at Strand which nobody in those days would have dreamed of missing on a saint's day Amphillis placed herself at an upstairs window to watch for her escort.
