"Kettles" coming in for tea-leaves, and living in "Anchoranopally." How could Pennie have become familiar with such a child? "But my dear " she said faintly. "That's the very worst part of Nearminster. Full of dirty, wicked people. You ought to know nothing of such places. And I don't like to hear you mispronounce words, it might grow into a habit. It's not at all nice."
"I don't suppose I shall hear anything about her," she said. "How should I?" "Perhaps you'll see her at the College again," said Nancy, "or perhaps Miss Unity will know about her, or perhaps the dean goes to see her father and mother." "That I'm sure he doesn't," said Pennie with conviction. "Why, I don't suppose he even knows where Anchoranopally is."
"It's a person," explained Pennie, "a little girl. We saw her at old Nurse's. And Nancy wants to give her a new pair of boots and stockings." "Does she live with old Nurse?" asked Miss Unity. "Oh, no!" answered Pennie. "She only came in for the tea-leaves. She lives in Anchoranopally." "Where?" said Miss Unity in a surprised voice.
Presently, however, when she had got well on with her meal, to which she applied herself in a keen and business-like manner, Nancy could not forbear asking: "Where do you live?" Kettles held the slice away from her mouth just long enough to say, very quickly: "Anchoranopally," and immediately fastened her teeth into it again. The children looked at Nurse for an explanation.
