And, oh! to have one's work in real good to Christ's poor, or in missions, instead of in all these outside silly nonsensical diversions that one doubts about all the time. If you would only let me go back with dear Sister Beata and Sister Elfleda as a probationer!" "You could not be any more yet," said Magdalen; "but I will think about it, and talk it over with Sister Angela.
It was as pretty a little room as any child could have wished for bright and neat and comfortable, with a pleasant look-out on the lawn at the side of the house, while farther off, over the trees, the village church, or rather its high spire, could be seen. For a moment Beata forgot her new troubles. "Oh, how pretty!" she said, "Is this to be my room? I never had such a nice one.
Of the long nights of vigil on the floor of the oratory and of many other austerities which had filled those last sad days since the quarrel with Rome had begun, the Lady Beata was forced to give faithful account to the physicians who were summoned in immediate consultation to the bedchamber of the Lady Marina.
They got through their pieces very creditably, especially Beata, who won warm praise from Miss Lancaster. "That child's artistic and will make a musician if she goes on with it. She puts herself into her playing." "They're rather a remarkable family. Her sister is studying singing in London," purred Miss Pollard, pleased to have one of her pupils thus noticed.
"But she's kind, isn't she?" asked Beata. "Oh yes; I daresay you'll think her kind. But I don't care for her much. She's rather pretending." "I can't understand why you think so many people pretending," said Bee. "I think it must be very uncomfortable to feel like that." "But if they are pretending, it's best to know it," said Rosy. Beata felt herself getting puzzled again.

"They have their DOWNS, but they also have their ups.
Almirante! from which circumstance he inferred that he had fallen in with Hispaniola, of which he was not till then assured. At the end of August, he anchored at a small island which looks like a sail, which he therefore named Alto Vela, being twelve leagues from Beata . The other two ships being out of sight, the admiral sent some of his men to the top of this island to look out for them.
Vincent herself, yet Rosy's mother felt sure that Nelson blamed Bee for the loss, and wished others to do so, and she was afraid of what might be said in the nursery if the subject was still spoken about. So nothing unkind was actually said to Beata, but Rosy's cold manner and careless looks were hard to bear. And the days were drawing near for the long looked forward to fete at Summerlands.
His De Civitate Dei and De Vita Beata were the paps at which I suckled my earliest mental nourishment. And even to-day, after all the tragedy and sin and turbulence of my life, that was intended to have been so different, it is from his Confessions that I have gathered inspiration to set down my own although betwixt the two you may discern little indeed that is comparable.
She had very soft bright hair, and a very white skin, and large brown eyes that looked lovely when she let sweet thoughts and feelings shine through them; but though she had many faults, she was not vain, and she really thought she was not pleasant-looking at all. "Beata is sure to be pretty," thought Rosy. "I daresay she'll have beautiful black hair, and blue eyes like Lady Albertine."
