"In compensation for the sudden cooling of your affection," said Jock. "Well, if it is an excuse for an excursion with Sydney I'll not interfere, but ask him for his sister's address in London, for I promised to tell her about him." "Oh," cried Babie, at the word 'London, "then you have heard from Dr. Medlicott?"
Cradocke's, and at which Babie looked with some dismay, as if fearing that they would all be inflicted on her. He was in a placid, martyr-like state.
Babie looked up from her work with an amused smile of infinite congratulation. There was a glance from his mother. Then, as Babie put it, the Prince saw the Sleeping Beauty, and, with a strange long half-strangled gasp and clasped hands, went down on one knee.
Not only did Emma look, but as soon as her mistress was ready to leave the room she went herself on a voyage of discovery, peeping first into the little dressing-room, where seeing Babie at her morning prayers, she said nothing to disturb her, and then going on to look into some spare rooms beyond, where she thought it might have been disposed of, as being not smart enough for my lady's chamber.
It was, "Seekest thou great things for thyself." Even Armine only knew that it was in a note in the "Christian Year," and Babie looked out the reference, and found that it was Jeremiah's rebuke to Baruch for self-seeking amid the general ruin. "I liked Baruch," she said. "I am sorry he was selfish." "Noble selfishness, perhaps," said Armine.
"You would see her the brightest and bravest of all. Neither she nor Babie would mind the loss of fortune a bit if it were not, as Babie says, for 'other things. But those other things are wearing her to a mere shadow. No, not a shadow- that is dark -but a mere sparkle! But to escape from Belforest will cure a great deal." So Jock went away with the load on his heart somewhat lightened.
Come, Babie! Oh! isn't it delicious to have you?" When Sydney had carried off Babie, and the two mothers stood over the fire in the bedroom, Mrs. Evelyn said "So Lucas stays with his good old godfather. I honour him more than I can show." "We did not like to leave the old people alone. They were my kindest friends in my day of trouble."
"What do you know about the old times- baby that you are and were?" said Jock. "The Drakes move to-morrow," said his mother. "I must write to your aunt and Richards about sending the things from Belforest. We must have it at its best before Ali comes home." "All right!" said Babie. "You know our own things have only to go back into their places, and the Drake carpets go on.
The hubbub of voices, as they tumbled and rushed about the window and balcony, was the regular accompaniment of dinner, though on the first plaintive tone from the little girl, the mother interrupted a "Well, but papa," from Janet, with "Babie, Babie." "It's Jock, Mother Carey! He will come into Fairyland too soon."
And pray what mischief still have your idle hands found to do?" "Don't!" he burst out; "I'm on the verge of distraction already! I can't bear it!" "Is there anything the matter? You're not in a scrape? You don't want Jock?" she said. "No, no -only I've done it. Babie, I shall go mad, if I don't get an answer soon." Babie was much too sharp not to see what he meant.
