As I should have begun by saying, on the very first evening Babie showed her sense by proposing you as governess, and you were unanimously elected in full and free parliament. It really was the child's own thought and proposal, and what I want is to have those two children made wiser and better than I can make them, as well as that you should be the dear comrade and friend I need more than ever.
"You know it is not only that," said Babie; "Allen is bound in honour to marry Elvira, to repair the great injustice. It is a great pity she will not marry him now at once, but I think she is afraid, because then, you know, she would get to have a soul, like Undine, and she doesn't want one yet."
"Isn't it Truth?" said Babie. "Mr. Acton said Truth was at the bottom of a well. I won't look at the kobolds if they keep one from seeing Truth." "But I must get my ring and all my jewels from them," put in Elfie. "Should you know Truth?" asked Mr. Ogilvie. "What do you think she is like?" "So beautiful!" said Babie, clasping her fingers with earnestness.
Babie was so perfectly good-humoured about the sacrifice of her pet passages, and even of her dozen copybooks, that the editor of the "Traveller's Joy" could not help encouraging the admission of "Jotapata" into the magazine, in spite of the remonstrances of the rest of his public, who declared it was merely making the numbers a great deal heavier for postage, and all for nothing.
"Then it is all over," cried Babie, again in tears; "all our dreams of honour, and knighthood, and wounds, and glorious things!"
"Not she," said Bobus, in his teasing voice. "She'll be governessed up and kept to lessons all day." "Mother always teaches us," said Babie. "She'll have no time, she'll be a great lady, and you'll have three governesses- one for French, and one for German, and one for deportment, to make you turn out your toes, and hold up your head, and never sit on the rug." "Never mind, Babie," said Jock.
As to Armine, she wanted to consult Dr. Lucas about the fragile looks and liability to cold that had alarmed her ever since Rob's exploit. Besides, he was so unlike the others! Had she not seen him quietly make his way into the drawing-room, where Mrs. Lucas kept a box for the Children's Hospital, and drop into it two bright florins, one of which she had seen Babie hand over to him?
After a little breaking in, Babie gave it to her dolls as her deliberate opinion that "Wegulawity settles one's mind. One knows when to do what."
"We will get him away somehow, Infanta, never fear! And when you have left this place, you'll be all right. You'll have the Friar, and he is a host in himself." "Yes," said Babie, ruefully, "but he is not a brother after all. Oh, Jock! mother says it is very wrong in me, but I can't help it." "What is wrong, little one?" "To feel it so dreadful that you and Bobus are going!
"Mother Carey, may Pincher kill your rats?" Armine. "One wants a clue of thread to find one's way." Janet. "I've counted five-and-thirty bedrooms already, and that's not all." Babie. "And there's a little copper tea-kettle in each. May my dolls have one?" Bobus. "There's nothing else in most of them; and, my eyes! how musty they smell." Elvira.
