Mad. de Rosier, without using any artifice, succeeded in making Isabella and Matilda friends, instead of rivals, by placing them, as much as possible, in situations in which they could mutually sympathize, and by discouraging all painful competition. With Herbert and Favoretta she pursued a similar plan.
Favoretta related exactly what had happened, and said that when she heard all their voices in the dressing-room, and when she heard Matilda say there's a noise, she was afraid of being discovered in the closet, and had crept out through a little door, with which she was well acquainted, that opened upon the leads. Mrs. Harcourt now broke forth into indignant exclamations against Grace.
Grace, tossing back her head, as she adjusted her dress at the glass; "and, if you think so much about it, you'd better lie down again." "Oh! I can't lie down again," said Favoretta; "I have got my shoes on stay for me, Grace I'm just ready."
Matilda held back Mad. de Rosier; and Isabella, whose head was now just recovered from the opera, rang the bell with considerable energy. "Dear Miss Isabella, don't ring so; dear ma'am, don't be frightened, and I'll tell you the whole truth, ma'am," said Grace to her mistress; "it's nothing in the world to frighten any body it's only Miss Favoretta, ma'am."
On sensibility, all that is called genius, perhaps, originally depends: those who are capable of feeling a strong degree of pain and pleasure may surely be excited to great and persevering exertion, by calling the proper motives into action. Favoretta, the youngest daughter, was about six years old.
Favoretta and Herbert's petty, but loud and violent disputes, had nearly ceased since these precautions had been regularly attended to.
"I wish mamma would have let me sit up a little longer," said Favoretta, "for I am not at all sleepy." "You always go to bed a great deal earlier, you know, miss," said Grace, "when your governess is at home; I would let you get up, and come down to tea with me, for I'm just going to take my late dish of tea, to rest myself, only I dare not let you, because " "Because what?"
"But, Herbert," said Mad. de Rosier, "you must sometimes be contented to do as you are desired, even when I do not think it proper to give you my reasons; you will, hereafter, find that I have good ones." "I have found that already in a great many things," said Herbert; "especially about the caterpillar." "What about the caterpillar?" said Favoretta.
I have not my red shoes on to-day!" Whilst Mad. de Rosier assured Favoretta that the want of the red shoes would not diminish her merit, Matilda whispered to Isabella "Mourning is very becoming to her, though she is not fair;" and Isabella, with a look of absence, replied "But she speaks English amazingly well for a French woman."
"Favoretta!" exclaimed every body at once, except Mad. de Rosier, who instantly opened the closet door, but no Favoretta appeared. "Favoretta is not here," said Mad. de Rosier. "Then I'm undone!" exclaimed Grace; "she must have got out upon the leads." The leads were, at this place, narrow, and very dangerous. "Don't scream, or the child is lost," said Mad. de Rosier. Mrs.
