But tea seemed to do Fixie good, and he grew brighter again, so that Martha began to think there could not be much wrong. Nursery tea was long over before Rosy came home, and so she stayed down in the drawing-room to have some with her mother and aunt.
"If an answer comes from Martha that Fixie had taken it away or put it somewhere, it will be all right again and I shall be quite happy, and then it would have been a pity to write unhappily to poor mother, so far away," she said to herself.
Lady Esther had proposed that Rosy and Bee should be dressed as the pretty French queen, Marie Antoinette, whom no doubt you have heard of, and her sister-in-law the good princess, Madame Elizabeth. Fixie was to be the little prince, and Lady Esther's youngest little girl the young princess, while the twins were to be two maids of honour.
"I'm sure " but she too stopped, for just then wheels were heard on the gravel drive outside. "Here they are," said mother. "Will you come to the door to welcome Beata, Rosy?" Rosy came forward, though rather slowly. Colin was already out in the hall, and Fixie was dancing along beside his mother. Rosy kept behind.
And oh, Rosy, Fixie wants so to know if he may have your beads this afternoon, just to hold in his hand and look at. He can't hurt them." "Very well," said Rosy. "He may have them for half an hour or so, but not longer." "Shall I go and give them to him now?" said Bee, ready to run off. "Oh no, he won't need them just yet. Let's have a run first.
Fixie came close up to her, peeped almost into her face, so that if she had been really asleep I rather think it would have awakened her, except that all he did was so very gentle and like a little mouse; and then, quite satisfied that she was fast asleep, he slowly settled himself down on the floor by her side. "Poor Losy," he said softly. "Fixie are so solly for you.
"What nonsense!" said Rosy. "Why, I was only in auntie's room for about a quarter of an hour after Miss Pink went." "A quarter of an hour," said Bee. "No indeed, Rosy. You were more than an hour, I am sure. I was reading to Fixie in the nursery, for he's got a cold and he mayn't go out, and you don't know what a great lot I read.
And it was with a slight feeling of self-approval that Beata went up to bed. When she was undressed she went into the nursery for a moment to ask Martha to brush her hair. Fixie was not yet asleep, and the nurse looked troubled. "Is Fixie ill?" said Bee. "No, I hope not," said Martha, "but he's troubled. Miss Rosy's been in to say good-night to him, and she's set him off his sleep, I'm sure."
I'd almost hate him, and I'm sure I'll hate her, any way. Mamma says she's such a dear good little girl that means that everybody'll say I'm naughtier than ever." But just then Fixie moved a little and whispered something in his sleep. "What is it, Fix?" said Rosy, stooping down to listen. His ears caught the sound of her voice. "Poor Losy," he murmured, and Rosy's face softened again.
But then she thought to herself how much better it was for her than for many little girls whose mothers had to be away and who were sent to school, where they had no such kind friend as Mrs. Vincent. "I'll go in and read to Fixie," she then decided, and she made her way to the house.
