Harriet raised her heavy eyelids, sat up and rubbed her eyes. Tommy tried to brush Jane aside. "Fithh for breakfatht," she muttered. "Oh, Jane, is it really you?" stammered Harriet, trying to keep from lying back and again going to sleep. "Oh, my stars, darlin's! And we thought all the time that you were both drowned. Don't tell me a thing now.
Saiver of Airth, Mave, darlin', won't you spake to me, to your own mother?" "Maybe I did spake to her too severely," said the father, now relenting, "an' if I did, may God forgive me; for sure you know, Bridget, I wouldn't injure a hair of my darlin's head. But this blood! this blood! oh, where did it come from?"
When I called her into the library and told her the children were now too old for her and that they must have a governess, the look that came into her face haunted me for days. "Ye'll be after taking my darlin's away from me?" she muttered in a dead tone. "'T will be hard for me!" She stood as if the heart had died within her, and the hundred-dollar bill I shoved into her hand fell to the floor.
"Oh, look at the little darlin's!" she exclaimed, as she saw the small Bobbsey twins standing out in the yard, waiting for Tom to come back. Freddie and Flossie certainly did look very sweet and pretty with their new winter coats and caps on, though it was not very cold. It was not as cold in Washington as in Lakeport.
But whisht, may be they're asleep; ay, asleep, and ah, sure if ever any creatures wanted sleep, they do sleep, darlin's, sleep I'll not make a noise to waken one of you but what's that? "Here she clasped her hands, and looked with such a gaze of affright and horror around her, as I never saw on a human face before. "'What's that?
Now, listen, darlin's. I found I found oh, if you knew how funny you all look! I found an old pair of specs spectacles. I fooled you that time, didn't I?" she chuckled, hugging herself delightedly. "You thought it was something wonderful." "Oh, fudge!" said Margery disgustedly. "I might have known you weren't in earnest." "I call that real mean of you, Jane," pouted Hazel Holland.
I think a sight of having a good funeral; the Lord knows I want to be buried decent, comin' of the breed I do; but there, I've no time to think of funerals or anything else now. I had to be masterful this week to 'em darlin's, but 'twas the only thing to do. Lor' sakes! Suppose they'd begun fussing over me, what would have become of us all?" At this moment there came a knock at the door.
Oh, they must be desp'te hungry, poor darlin's. I say, nurse, where is 'oo? Nurse, come 'long, you howid old thing!" Simpson, who happened to be in the day-nursery not far away, heard Diana's imperious little cry. The under-nurse was also standing in the room. "Mrs. Simpson," she said, "I hear one of the strange little ladies calling out for you." "Well, and so do I hear her," answered Mrs.
"Thrath, I do, my lady; the Irish and English women would flog the world, an' sure it would be a burnin' shame to go to sot them agin one another fwhor beauty." "Whom do you mean by the 'darlin's beyant?" inquired the blue-stocking, attempting to pronounce the words. "Faix, miss, who but the crathers ower the wather, that kills us entirely, so they do."
"Oh, miss!" she cried, her mind coming back from the shadows. "They have come at last, the darlin's, the sweethearts, the loves, the beauties." She held them in a close embrace. "They're from 'ome, they're from 'ome!" she gasped painfully, for her breath came with difficulty now.
