Fairchild should have died and papa got well, when you think how ill papa was and that he seemed quite well then. 'He was always delicate Mr. Fairchild, I mean, said Rosalys.

They had only one child, a daughter named Célestine like her mother, who died, and my mother helped to nurse her in her last illness, which made Madame d'Ermont very fond of her. Indeed, I think she was very fond of us all, she added with a little smile, 'and I think I was a special pet of hers. Through her kindness I had many advantages in my education.
Then they made her sit down; she was looking rather tired, for she had had a long walk in the sun and by degrees she told them all her news. There was a good deal to tell. The last four years had been spent by her mother and herself in France, not far from Madame d'Ermont, whom Celestina described as having been more than kind.
