But, darling, after all, you have had the good years a child of your own a home; we shall get only the dregs at the bottom of the cup. So it is not so very unfair, is it?" Then Mary's pent emotion issued in a laugh. With her face on her sister's shoulder, she tried herself to silence it. "I can't help it," she apologised. "I would if I could. Debbie, don't go! Oh, my dear, don't think I envy you!
Do come in and take off your bonnet." "We did not know that you had moved, Debbie," said Mother Graymouse as she untied Squealer's bonnet strings. "How did it happen?" Tears came into Mrs. Field-Mouse's eyes. "Oh, it was dreadful, Betsey, just dreadful! One bright, sunshiny morning in the spring, there came a terrible earthquake. All in a minute, our home was a mass of ruins.
If I can't find room for my things, I can sell them in Melbourne as well as here." "Having squandered a small fortune on the carriage down. Better leave them with me, Debbie, and let me send you what you want afterwards." "Thank you. You would not have them to send afterwards." "Oh, I think I would." "No. I shall settle everything before I leave, and the sale will be held immediately.
"Debbie!" she cried, "Oh, Debbie! Let us go home!" And with that the tension broke all on a sudden, and with her old nurse's arms around her, she sobbed on the faithful bosom which had been the refuge of her childhood's woes. "There, my pretty!" said Deborah, as best she could for her own sobs. "There, there! We are at home, now we are together.
"You never can mean that you are going to desert me, Debbie? Leave me to do all the cooking and and everything " The awful vision was too much for her and her voice died down to a whisper.
But the Knight was stooping to examine the right forehoof of her palfrey, she having fancied Icon had trod tenderly upon it during the last half-mile; so she passed in alone. Afterwards she overheard old Debbie say, in her most scolding tones: "She did stretch out her hand to you, Sir Hugh, and you saw it not!"
But you don't understand pet you don't know what you are doing going right out of your class out of your world " "But to a good husband, Debbie, and the man I love and that's first of all! And I must go to him now I must not keep him waiting. Bless you, dearest! I am happy now. Never mind the others. You can tell them after I'm gone. But I felt that I must speak to YOU before I went.
Old Debbie, looking from her casement, thought them beautiful beyond words as she watched them cross the lawn she in white and gold, he in white and silver; his dark head towering above her fair one, though she was uncommon tall.
"I've wanted to confess it, though I'm horribly ashamed to and I'm afraid you'll think I did not value it. I did indeed I hated to part with it; but I was so hard up, and I didn't know which way to turn, or what else to do " "And never came to me!" "Well, I did in a way. I I sold your pearls." "That's right, Debbie. That's a load off my mind. It is the best thing you could have done with them."
At that moment Debbie came in with her fruit and cereal, and she turned from the window with a sigh. "I might as well eat," she thought resignedly, "for if I starve myself to death or die of worry, there won't be anybody left to pay for that old book worm." Then her irrepressible imp of mischief reasserted itself and she laughed.
