"Ethelbertha rose, calm but severe. "'Where have you been, Amenda? she enquired. "'Gadding half over the county with a lot of low soldiers, answered Amenda, continuing her work. "'You had on my hat, I added, somewhat gloomily.
She would play with us, or join with us in light conversation; but when it came to the serious affairs of life, such as bathing or feeding, she preferred her nurse. Ethelbertha attempted to take her out in the perambulator one morning, but the child would not hear of it for a moment. "It's all right, baby dear," explained Ethelbertha soothingly. "Baby's going out with mamma this morning."
She likewise suggested that the four of us, leaving the Little Mother in the carriage, should walk up the hill. Ethelbertha said that she herself would like a walk. She had been balancing herself on the edge of a cushion with her feet dangling for two miles, and was tired. She herself would have preferred a carriage made for ordinary-sized people.
Can't have the roadway blocked up all the afternoon with this 'ere demonstration of the unloved. Pass along." In connection with this same barracks, our char-woman told Amenda, who told Ethelbertha, who told me a story, which I now told the boys. Into a certain house, in a certain street in the neighbourhood, there moved one day a certain family.
Do you think," continued Ethelbertha, "that you could persuade Mr. Harris to go with you?" I said I would try. "There's a dear boy," said Ethelbertha; "try hard. You might get George to join you." I replied there was not much advantage in George's coming, seeing he was a bachelor, and that therefore nobody would be much benefited by his absence. But a woman never understands satire.
To return to our own doll's house, Ethelbertha and I, discussing the subject during our return journey in the train, resolved that, next year, we ourselves would possess a houseboat, a smaller houseboat, if possible, than even the one we had just seen. It should have art-muslin curtains and a flag, and the flowers about it should be wild roses and forget-me- nots.
We stared after the procession until it had turned the corner, and then we stared at each other. "'Oh, it's impossible, said Ethelbertha to me. "'But that was my hat, I said to Ethelbertha. "The moment we reached home Ethelbertha looked for Amenda, and I looked for my hat. Neither was to be found. "Nine o'clock struck, ten o'clock struck.
She did this as she frankly avowed to Ethelbertha to assist her family, who were prosecuting some petty law case at the time. He was a smart, steady man, a great favourite with his employers, and, out of kindly feeling towards him, they did the business for Amenda's father, charging only "out-of-pockets." Six months after the case was ended, she broke off the match.
Then she added cheerfully, "I'll try again if you like, mum." Amenda was the most willing servant we ever paid wages to. Ethelbertha said she would step down and light the fire herself, and told Amenda to follow her and watch how she did it. I felt interested in the experiment, and followed also. Ethelbertha tucked up her frock and set to work. Amenda and I stood around and looked on.
The opinion of the man in front Views of the man behind How Harris lost his wife The luggage question The wisdom of my late Uncle Podger Beginning of story about a man who had a bag. I opened the ball with Ethelbertha that same evening. I commenced by being purposely a little irritable. My idea was that Ethelbertha would remark upon this.
