Beata raised her head from his shoulder, and digging in her pocket for her little handkerchief, wiped away the tears, and then looking up, her face still quivering, said gently, "I won't cry any more, uncle; I will be good. Indeed, I didn't mean to be naughty." "That's right," he answered, encouragingly.
If if thou wilt read this parchment" the Lady Beata held it out to her "it is the Will of the late King, Aluisi hath bidden me give it thee." "There is no need," Caterina answered listlessly, as the Lady Beata opened it and put it into her hand, "the provisions have been told me." But the other persisted.
Mavis glanced round for Merle, hoping her expedition to the sweet-shop would not have made her late, and to her relief saw her sitting on the opposite side of the room, in company with Beata and Romola Castleton, Fay Macleod, and a number of other new girls whose acquaintance she had evidently just made. They were passing round chocolates, and seemingly enjoying themselves.
To an able woman building on such a weighty basis as that on which Lady Boyd had for long been building, Rutherford was quite safe to lay weighty and unusual comforts on her mind and on her heart. 'Christ has a use for all your corruptions, he says to her, to her surprise and to her comfort. 'Beata culpa, cried Augustine; and 'Felix culpa, cried Gregory.
All the children looked sorry, and a puzzled expression came into Rosy's face. "Come into my room a minute, Bee," she said. "Do tell me," she went on, "what are you crying for?" Beata put her arms round Rosy's neck. "I can't quite tell you," she said, "I'm afraid of vexing you. But, oh, I do so wish " and then she stopped. "What?" said Rosy.
"I shall like you just as well if you do," said Rosy, "at least if you do a little. Anyway, it would be better than setting up to be better than other people, or pretending." "But I don't want to do that," said Beata. "I want to be good. I don't want to think about being better or not better than other people, and I'm sure I don't want to pretend. I don't ever pretend like that, Rosy.
"Miss Rosy!" said Martha, as if she wanted to beg Rosy to be good, and her voice was still kind, though her face had got very red when Rosy told her she was "showing off." Beata stood in shocked silence. She had had no idea that Rosy could speak so, and, sad as it was, Martha did not seem surprised.
As Mavis and Merle walked back along the cliffs to Chagmouth their tongues wagged fast in discussion of their new acquaintances. Mavis was charmed with Beata and Romola, and Merle had utterly lost her heart to Fay. "I feel as if I could like her!" she declared. "She's a sport, and really we want somebody to wake us up a little at 'The Moorings. I believe this term is going to be jolly.
There was a little shriek of discomfiture as they suddenly perceived the young lord of the day, but the Contessa Beata Tagliapietra came saucily toward him as he was escaping. "The Lady Laura hath charged me to ask the Signor Marcantonio whether the garlands be disposed according to his liking."
"MY DEAR TROLLOPE, Enclosed is the proof you were good enough to say you would correct. When am I to return the compliment? "I have finished Marietta. Its picture of Italian life is extremely vivid and interesting, but it is a long way behind La Beata in interest of story.
