She says you wish the children to have a holiday." "Yes, to go with my son and Miss Carmina to the Zoological Gardens." "Miss Carmina said I was to go too." "Miss Carmina was perfectly right." The governess fixed her searching eyes on Mrs. Gallilee. "You really wish me to go with them?" she said. "I do." "I know why." In the course of their experience, Mrs.
During that interval, Mr. Null succeeded in partially overcoming the attacks of sickness: they were less violent, and they were succeeded by longer intervals of repose. A certain mental advance was unquestionably noticeable in Carmina. It first showed itself in an interesting way: she began to speak of Ovid. Her great anxiety was, that he should know nothing of her illness.
The mind of the clerk's master had been troubled by serious doubts, after Carmina left his house on Sunday. Her agitated manner, her strange questions, and her abrupt departure, all suggested to Mr. Mool's mind some rash project in contemplation perhaps even the plan of an elopement. To most other men, the obvious course to take would have been to communicate with Mrs. Gallilee.
You'll see a big brown steaming bag in a dish and you'll see me slit it with a knife and the bag's fat inside will tumble out, all smoking hot and stinking. That's a Scotch dinner. Oh!" she cried, losing her dignity in the sudden interest of a new idea, "oh, Carmina, do you remember the Italian boy, and his song?"
"Not a doubt of it!" "There's one thing you have forgotten," Teresa persisted. "You haven't asked him when Carmina can be moved." "My good woman, if I had put such a question, he would have set me down as a fool! Nobody can say when she will be well enough to be moved." He took his hat. The nurse followed him out. "Are you going to Mrs. Gallilee, sir?" "Not to-day." "Is she better?"
With this exception, he has certainly sacrificed his professional interests to his mania for experiments in chemistry. What those experiments are, nobody knows but himself. He keeps the key of his laboratory about him by day and by night. When the place wants cleaning, he does the cleaning with his own hands." Carmina listened with great interest: "Has nobody peeped in at the windows?" she asked.
"Eat and drink as I do, my dear," he said to Carmina; "and you will sleep as I do. Off I go when the light's out flat on my back, as Mrs. Gallilee will tell you and wake me if you can, till it's time to get up. Have some buttered eggs, Ovid. They're good, ain't they, Zo?" Zo looked up from her plate, and agreed with her father, in one emphatic word, "Jolly!"
Gallilee's object being attained, she made no attempt to help him. "Perhaps, time will show," she answered discreetly. "Good-bye again with best wishes for the success of the song." The solitude of her own room was no welcome refuge to Carmina, in her present state of mind. She went on to the schoolroom. Miss Minerva was alone.
"Yah-yah-yah-bellah-vitah-yah! That's Italian, Carmina." The door opened again while the performer was in full vigour and Miss Minerva appeared. When she entered the room, Carmina at once saw that Zo had correctly observed her governess. Miss Minerva's heavy eyebrows lowered; her lips were pale; her head was held angrily erect, "Carmina!" she said sharply, "you shouldn't encourage that child."
By unexpressed consent, on either side, they still preserved their former relations as if Mrs. Gallilee had not spoken. Miss Minerva looked at Carmina sadly and kindly. "Good-bye for the present!" she said and went upstairs again to the schoolroom. In the hall, Carmina found the servant waiting for her. He opened the library door. The learned lady was at her studies. "I have been speaking to Mr.
