Whilst Herbert's cart rolled on, Favoretta viewed it with scornful eyes; but at length, cured by the neglect of the spectators of this fit of disdain, she condescended to be pleased, and spied a few things worthy of her notice. Bilboquets, battledores, and shuttlecocks, she acknowledged were no bad things "And pray," said she, "what are those pretty little baskets, Mad. de Rosier?
"Now, Isabella, pray let her look at my basket," cried the eager Favoretta, holding up the scarcely begun basket "I will do a row, to show you how it is done;" and the little girl, with busy fingers, began to weave.
Favoretta usually slept in a little closet within Mrs. Grace's room, so that she foresaw no difficulty in getting her to bed. "I heard! did not you hear a noise, Isabella?" said Matilda. "A noise! No; where?" said Isabella, and went on talking alternately to her mother and Mad. de Rosier, whom she held fast, though they seemed somewhat inclined to retire to rest.
The lid of the box was dipped into boiling-water, and restored to its shape. Matilda, as she was wiping it dry, observed that some yellow paint, or varnish, came off, and in one spot, on the inside of the lid, she discovered something like writing. "Who will lend me a magnifying glass?" Favoretta produced hers.
The press was obliged to stand still when Favoretta, or his friend, Mad. de Rosier, were not at hand, to tell him, letter by letter, how to spell the words that he wanted to print. He, one evening, went up to Mad. de Rosier, and, with a resolute face, said, "I must learn to read." "If any body will be so good as to teach you, I suppose you mean," said she, smiling .
"We can speak French," added Mad. de Rosier, looking at Favoretta, "since we cannot trust that little girl in a room by herself; we must speak in a language which she does not understand, when we have any thing to say that we do not choose she should hear." "After all this preparation," said Mrs.
"But you forget that I have a terrible headache Pray don't let me detain either of you, if you have any thing to do for Mad. de Rosier." "Nothing in the world, mamma," said Matilda; "she is gone to take Herbert and Favoretta to Exeter Change." No farther explanation could take place, for, at this instant, Mrs. Grace introduced Dr. X . Now Dr.
Herbert and Favoretta liked the old woman and her garden, and they were much interested for the little boy, who was whipped for having been gazing at the pictures on the horn-book, instead of learning his lesson; but, to Isabella's great mortification, they did not understand above half of what she read the old English expressions puzzled them.
Harcourt, with Isabella and Matilda, were gone to the opera, Favoretta, who had been sent to bed by her mother, because she was in the way when they were dressing, called to Grace to beg that she would close the shutters in her room, for the moon shone upon her bed, and she could not go to sleep.
Grace, "need not boast much of the hand she has had in the business: for I've been by at odd times, and watched her ways, whilst I have been dressing Miss Favoretta, and she has been hearing you your task, Master Herbert." "She doesn't call it my task I hate that word."
