"I hope you don't learn nursery rhymes, about phantoms and ghosts, Lina?" said Mrs. Robert Brownlow. "This is an original poem, Aunt Ellen," replied Babie, gravely. "More original than practical," said John. "You haven't accounted for the pronoun?" "Oh, never mind that. Great poets are above rules. I want Essie to promise us bridesmaids blackcock tails in our hats."
"She is always better-tempered in a hot country." "Yes," added Babie, "and you didn't see her when somebody advised our trying the West Indies for the winter. Her eyes gleamed, and she panted, and I didn't know what she was going to do.
Cecil, after ten minutes with his mother, which filled her with hope and thankfulness, had gone to show his sister the charms of the place, and Armine and Babie, on a sheltered seat, were free to pour out their hearts to one another, ranging from the heights of pure childish wisdom to its depths of blissful ignorance and playful folly, as they talked over the past and the future.
Amuse, console this poor girl, and show her husband what he should be; I have no fear of losing your heart nor need you fear for hers; she is one of those spaniel-like creatures who love the hand that strikes them and fawn upon the foot that spurns them." "Am I to be the sole actor in the drama of deceit? While I woo Babie, what will you do, Pauline?"
I got him alone this morning, while his mother was pouring forth to mine, and I think he has a little more notion where thanks are due." "I should like to see him," said John. "I'll try not to demoralise him; but he has given me some happy moments." The voice was low, and Sydney blushed as she laughed and said "That's like Babie, saying it was delightful."
The doctor stethoscoped me all over, and then he did a map of my lungs, Cecil said, to send in his letter." "Oh!" gasped Babie, "didn't it frighten you?" "I wanted to know, for I saw mother was in a way. She did talk and whisk about so fast, and made such a fuss, that I thought I must be much worse than I knew. So I told Dr.
"So we were," returned Armine; "but Johnnie and Joe ran away when they saw Mr. Ogilvie coming." Babie having by this time had a little black hat tied on, and as much arrowroot as possible brushed out of her frock; Carey warned the schoolmaster not to let himself be chattered to death, and he walked off with the three younger ones.
Armine was magnanimously silent, but what would be the effect on Allen, who had been heard of at Gibraltar, and was sure to return before the case was heard in court? "We must give up old associations, and try what a revolution will do," Mother Carey said. "Hurrah!" cried Babie; "I was feeling totally overpowered by that awful round table, but I thought it was the very core of mother's heart."
They met him in a glow of animation, and Babie hardly gave him time to lay down his basket of ferns from the dale, and flowers from the garden, before she threw open the folding doors to the back drawing- room. "Why, mother, who sent you that group? Why do you laugh? Did Grinstead lend it to Babie to copy? Young Astyanax, isn't it? And, I say! Andromache is just like Jessie. I say!
What could Janet mean? To speak would be of no use. One- and-twenty was not likely to listen to thirteen, though Babie, in her dreamy wakefulness, found herself composing conversations in which she made eloquent appeals to Janet, which she was never likely to utter.
