Armine knew there was no chance of an immediate and entire recovery for him, and this was a severe stroke to Babie, who was quite unprepared.
"Come out, come out, quoth Rory stout, Come out in the morning early, Sir Captain mark, he rises! hark, The blackcock's tail is curly." "Repetition, Babie," said her mother; "too like the Montjoie S. Denis poem." "It saves so much trouble, mother." "And a recall to the freshness and innocence of childhood is so pleasing," added Jock. "How much did the man of family let his moor for?" asked Allen.
"So Babie," said her brother, "you've earned your breakfast; I heard you hammering away." "Like a nuthatch," was the merry answer. "And Elfie?" asked Mrs. Brownlow. "I'm not so late as Janet," she answered; and the others laughed at the self-defence before the attack. "It is a lazy little Elf in town," said Miss Ogilvie; "in the country she is up and out at impossible hours."
"You can always have the satisfaction of believing I should have got them," said Jock, but there was a quiver in his voice, and a thrill through his whole frame that showed his mother that it was very sore with him, and she hastened to let him subside into a chair while she asked if it was far to the end of the canto, and as Babie was past reading, she took the book and finished it herself.
Armine yawned portentously, and declared that he could not learn except at his own times; and Babie was absolutely naughty more than once, when her mother suffered doubly in punishing her from the knowledge of whose fault it was. However, they were good little things, and it was not hard to re-establish discipline with them.
It was a Russian prince last time, and then Ali goes down into the very lowest depths, and can't do anything but smoke. You know that's good for blighted beings. I cure my plants by putting them into his room surreptitiously." "You are a hard-hearted little mortal, Babie. Ah, there's the bell!" Mrs.
Bobus was standing on the steps to receive them, and when they had crossed the hall, with due respect to its Roman mosaic pavement, they found the Popinjay bowing, dancing, and chattering for joy, and tea and coffee for parched throats in the favourite Dresden set in the morning room, the prettiest and cosiest in the house. "How nice it is! We are all together except Janet, exclaimed Babie.
Meantime Babie had been out with her two little cousins, and came home immensely impressed with the Belforest gardens. The house was shut up, but the gardens were really kept up to perfection, and the little one could not declare her full delight in the wonderful blaze she had seen of banks of red, and flame coloured, and white, flowering trees.
Many men would have been bored, and have only sought to free themselves from this learned lady, but the present lion was of the species that prefer roaring to an intelligent female audience, without the rough male argumentative interruption, and Janet thus made the voyage with the utmost satisfaction to herself. Mrs. Evelyn asked Babie who her sister's friend was.
Oh, dear!" and she let her head drop on his shoulder, and was almost crying again. "Don't, don't, Babie! or you'll make me as bad again," said Armine. "It does come over me now and then, and I wish I had never known what it was to be strong and jolly, and to expect to do all sorts of things." "I shall always be wishing it," said Babie. "No, you are not to cry!
