I mean to help her. I mean, whatever happens, to save her. But I don't mind talking a wee little bit about her to 'Cartery love, as that funny Maud calls her." The rest of the girls came up in a group, and the next hour or two were spent wandering through the pleasant gardens, while laughter, jokes, and good-humored chatter of all sorts filled the air. Then came tea.
What I want to say now is this: Miss Carter, will you forgive me?" "I I'll try to." "Are you still very much afraid of me?" "I confess that I am." "It's rather silly of you, isn't it? For you are quite protected from me." "I know that; but you gave me a great shock." "Dear Cartery," said Bertha, "she did, to be sure; but she is changed, and you never told us she was so beautiful."
I can't quite manage her alone. I want your help, dear. Will you give it?" Maud's frank blue eyes looked into Rosamund's dark ones, and over Maud's face there came a softened gleam. "When I look at you I can believe almost anything," she said. "But to think of that girl ever being what you say! Did she not nearly kill our Cartery dear?"
A moment later Miss Carter herself entered the bower, where Irene was still sitting. "So you are not afraid of me now, Cartery dear," said Irene, speaking in the sort of tone which she supposed Maud Singleton adopted. "No, I am not afraid of you. You are much altered. I came to say how much I admire you. In short, you are not the same girl you used to be."
I can read through people pretty well," said Rosamund, speaking in a low tone. "Now, I want to have a little talk with Miss Carter. Won't you go and play, and forget all about me, and let me have a chat with Miss Carter?" "With our darling Cartery? Why, certainly, you shall if you like. I see you want to get her to tell you about Irene. I doubt if she will. Do, please, be merciful.
"You are so very beautiful," she said. "I never saw you before. If you were good you'd be delightful. You'd be such a help to us all. We want some one lovely just to look at. Oh! wouldn't it be sweet, Cartery dear, to try and make pictures of her little face?" "That will do. I hate people to praise me," said Irene. "I am not at all good at present; and if I am beautiful, why, there's an end of it.
Although it was impossible to be absolutely rude to Maud, who was one of those charming girls, unaffected, affectionate, and natural, who must delight every one, yet Rosamund's real object was to have a talk with "Cartery love."
