Yes that'll do. "Your affectionate t-i-o-n-a-t-e Bee." Now I'll talk to you, Fixie. What a pity we haven't got Rosy's beads to tell stories about!" A queer look came into Fixie's face. "Rosy's beads," he said. "Yes, Rosy's necklace that was lost. And you didn't know where it was gone when Martha asked you when your mother wrote a letter about it."
Passing along the passage by the door of Rosy's room, it came into her mind that she might as well get the beads for Fixie which Rosy had given leave for. She went in the room was rather in confusion, for Rosy had been dressing in a hurry for her drive but Bee knew where the beads were kept, and, opening the drawer, she found them easily.
Vincent, wanting them to think over what she had said, told Miss Pink to give Fixie his lessons first, and then, before sending for the little girls to come down, she had a talk with Miss Pink. "I have spoken to both Rosy and Bee very seriously, and told them of your complaints," she said. Miss Pink grew rather red and looked uncomfortable.
She stooped down and threw her arms round the little boy's neck and hugged him. "Poor Fixie, dear Fixie," she said. "Rosy will come if you want her. Fixie never bovvers Rosy. Fixie loves Rosy, doesn't he?" "Ses," said the child, kissing her in return, "but please don't skeese Fix kite so tight," and he wriggled a little to get out of her grasp.
But I am surprised at you, Bee, for losing your temper about being simply asked if you had seen the necklace. You might have forgotten at first if you had had it again for Fixie, and you might the second time have forgotten to put it back. But there is nothing to be offended at, in being asked about it." She spoke coldly, and Bee's heart swelled more and more, but she dared not speak.
"I only went to fetch the beads for Fixie," she said, her voice trembling. "You said I might." "And did you put them back again? And did you not touch anything else?" Rosy went on. "Of course I put them back, and of course I didn't touch anything else," exclaimed Bee. "Rosy, how can you, how dare you speak to me like that? As if I would steal your things.
"Do you remember on the steamer, Fixie?" said Bee, "how we liked to sit together, and how hot it was sometimes, and how we used to wish we were in nice cool England?" "Oh ses," said Fixie, "oh it were hot! And the poor young lady, Bee, that was so ill?" "Oh, do you remember her, Fixie? What a good memory you have!" Fixie got rather red.
"It is never a good thing to go out in the morning without eating something, even if it's only a little bit." Breakfast passed most comfortably, and by good luck Fixie hadn't forgotten his promise to sit "aside Losy." "It was her turn," he said, and he seemed to think the honour a very great one.
And many an hour the children amused themselves with the lovely beads, examining them till they knew every one separately. They even, I believe, had a name for each, and Fixie had a firm belief that inside each crystal ball a little fairy dwelt, and that every moonlight night all these fairies came out and danced about Rosy's room, though he never could manage to keep awake to see them.
"If it makes you feel like that, it will be a talisman." And feeling remarkably pleased with herself and everybody else, Rosy ran off. Mr. Furnivale left the next day, but not without promises of another visit before very long. "When Cecy will come with you," said Mrs. Vincent. "And give her my bestest love," said Fixie. "Yes, indeed, my little man," said Mr.
