A. E. Rumpled stockings. Or the one in Grafton street. White. Wow! Beef to the heel. A monkey puzzle rocket burst, spluttering in darting crackles. Zrads and zrads, zrads, zrads. And Cissy and Tommy and Jacky ran out to see and Edy after with the pushcar and then Gerty beyond the curve of the rocks. Will she? Watch! Watch! See! Looked round. She smelt an onion. Darling, I saw, your. I saw all.
The twins clamoured again for it and Cissy told her to kick it away and let them fight for it so Gerty drew back her foot but she wished their stupid ball hadn't come rolling down to her and she gave a kick but she missed and Edy and Cissy laughed. If you fail try again, Edy Boardman said. Gerty smiled assent and bit her lip.
AUNT Edy was the principal laundress, and a great favorite she was with the little girls. She was never too busy to do up a doll's frock or apron, and was always glad when she could amuse and entertain them.
'How often doth he come? says Roger again. 'Once or twice weekly, says she. 'I wish th' 'dst waited till I returned, dear Edy, he said. 'It mid be you are a wife I hope so. But, if so, why this mystery? Why this mean and cramped lodging in this lonely copse-circled town? Of what standing is your husband, and of where? 'He is of gentle breeding his name is John.
Canon O'Hanlon put the Blessed Sacrament back into the tabernacle and genuflected and the choir sang Laudate Dominum omnes gentes and then he locked the tabernacle door because the benediction was over and Father Conroy handed him his hat to put on and crosscat Edy asked wasn't she coming but Jacky Caffrey called out: O, look, Cissy!
He was precisely the handsome, reckless, unworthy creature that good women are fools enough to love. In the Court production of "Olivia," both my children walked on to the stage for the first time. Teddy had such red cheeks that they made all the rouged cheeks look quite pale! Little Edy gave me a bunch of real flowers that she had picked in the country the day before.
The devious way she pursued, to avoid the vicinity of Mount Lodge, was tedious, and she was already weary. But the cottage was a restful place to arrive at, for she was her own mistress there her grandmother never coming down stairs and Edy, the woman who lived with and attended her, being a cipher except in muscle and voice.
The choir were practicing, and suddenly there rose a boy's voice, pure, effortless, and clear.... For years that moment stayed with me. When we came down to fetch Edy, she said: "Ssh! ssh! Miss Edy has seen the angels!" Oh, blissful quiet days! How soon they came to an end! Already the shadow of financial trouble fell across my peace. Yet still I never thought of returning to the stage.
There was much discussion as to what the play should be called, and as to whether the names "Synorix" and "Sinnatus" would be confused. "I don't think they will," I said, for I thought this was a very small matter for the poet to worry about. "I do!" said Edy in a loud clear voice, "I haven't known one from the other all the time!" "Edy, be good!" I whispered.
The likeness was of no use, because the possessor of it had no talent. What a pity! "Olivia" has always been a family play. Edy and Ted walked on the stage for the first time in the Court "Olivia." In later years Ted played Moses and Edy made her first appearance in a speaking part as Polly Flamborough, and has since played both Sophia and the Gipsy.
