And she wouldn't tell all because she wanted to shield me." "Why did she want to shield you?" "Because I wrote the verses." "You mean you copied them?" "I composed them," Bessy replied coolly. Her blue eyes fearlessly met Miss Hill's gaze. "Bessy Bell!" ejaculated the teacher.
"Bessy has not told me," she said. "Ah " the older woman rejoined, looking also toward the gardens, as if to intercept Miss Brent's glance in its flight. The latter stood still a moment, with the appearance of not wishing to evade whatever else her companion might have to say; then she moved away, entering the house by one window just as Mr. Langhope emerged from it by another.
I suppose they milk her and sell the butter, but otherwise she is not regarded as an ordinary cow at all. 'Poor Bessy, said Clara. 'I wish she had never come here. What is to be done with her? 'Done with her!
The great point when you wish to bring yourself to do anything is to make up your mind to it. I did so, and soon found that Bessy was rapidly gaining possession of my heart. I remained several days at Greenwich. My mother was still as busy as ever, attempting to obtain lodgers in her house who were people of family, and this unwearied system was a source of great vexation to my sister.
"Jane is utilitarian to the backbone, I know," said Lily, "and Bessy doesn't like getting up ladders." "As for ladders," said Mrs Boyce, defending her daughter, "I am not quite sure that Bessy isn't right. You don't mean to say that you did all those capitals yourself?"

"But he has left a message for you." "A message, papa?" "Yes, Bessy. And your mother agrees with me that it had better be given to you. It is this, that if you will send him word to come again, he will be here by Twelfth-night. He came before on my invitation, but if he returns it must be on yours." "Oh, papa, I cannot."
I know in the big room the closet behind the curtain! I can find that even in this dark, and once in there I won't be afraid." Bessy, fired by this inspiration, groped along the wall through the room to the large chamber, stumbled over chairs and a couch and at last got her hands on the drapery. She readily found the knob, turned it, opened the door and stepped in.
"She preached on the Green last night; an' she's laid hold of Chad's Bess, as the girl's been i' fits welly iver sin'." "Well, Bessy Cranage is a hearty-looking lass; I daresay she'll come round again, Joshua. Did anybody else go into fits?" "No, sir, I canna say as they did.
