Jasmine and Daisy became quite merry. An indiscriminating observer would have said: "How shocking to hear such merry laughter their mother has only been dead a month." But Mrs. Ellsworthy had far too kind a heart to do these children such an injustice.
What I should like to do would be this; in short, in short I do not quite know how to put it " "I know, I know," said Mrs. Ellsworthy, clapping her hands, "you want me to be a pawnbroker, and to lend money on it. I will, I will, with pleasure; oh, this is quite a fresh and delightful idea."
Surely, surely, it must be Jasmine Mainwaring. No other voice that I know has such a ring about it." Mrs. Ellsworthy half rose from her seat, half sat down again, and the color of eager anticipation flushed her cheeks.
"I had an acquaintance once of the name," he said, "but I lost sight of him years ago. It is a good name. Well, Kate, you will do what you can for your protegées. I am glad you have found some objects of interest close to your own gates." Here Mrs. Ellsworthy dropped her slightly frivolous tone, and rising from her seat, went up to her husband.
Noel, she may be sending him to see about us so you see it is more important than ever that we should find a place where we can really commence our work." "I don't dislike Mr. Noel at all," said Jasmine. "It is a great pity he is related to our darling Mrs. Ellsworthy, for we might have had the comfort of his advice without being considered dependent.
"She may in the end consent to some scheme for perfecting her education, but I'm quite sure she will not go, nor allow her sisters to go to Shortlands to live a life of simple luxury. I am sorry for you, Mrs. Ellsworthy, but I know Primrose will never consent to that." "I don't think you are sorry for me, Arthur," answered the pretty little lady.
After Miss Mainwaring came, I thought it best to run away; but before I went I extracted a promise from the three darlings to come and spend the day here to-morrow. Really, Joseph, I have had a surprising day; but I remember now that Miss Martineau did say something about these children being well born." Mr. Ellsworthy again raised his eyebrows.
Well, love, and so you don't want to be under no compliments to that Mrs. Ellsworthy, who never took no notice of your poor dear ma?" Primrose sighed. "I feel sore about it, Hannah," she said. "But I must try not to be too proud. I will ask God to help me to do what is really right in the matter." "That's it, honey, and maybe you won't have to do it after all. I wonder, now, dear, if Mr.
You know, Daisy, what we came up to London for why, of course you know why we left all our dear friends, and are living in about the very dullest part of London of course you know?" "Was it?" said Daisy, looking dubious; "was it I never could quite make out because Primrose did not like Mrs. Ellsworthy?" "Oh, you silly, silly little thing! What a dreadful thing to get into your head, Daisy-flower!
"We said you were a romp," continued Daisy. "You seemed like it in our garden. I wouldn't have come if I thought you were one of those ladies who wanted little girls to sit on chairs. Oh! do say you are a romp." Here there was a laugh heard behind them, and Mr. Ellsworthy came up and joined the group.
