"Miss Warwick," she said, with rather a mocking tone she had made a point of calling Bee "Miss Warwick" since the day Mrs. Vincent had spoken of the little girl by that name "Miss Warwick did put it back that day, Miss Rosy dear," she said. "For I saw it late that evening when I was putting your things away to help Martha as Master Fixie was ill."
Beata felt at first a very little frightened, and then, as she became quite sure that it was somebody crying, very sorry and uneasy. What could be the matter? Was it Fixie? No, the sounds did not come from the nursery side. Beata sat up in bed to hear more clearly, and then amidst the crying she distinguished her own name. "Bee," said the sobbing voice, "Bee, I wish you'd come to speak to me.
Wait a minute and I'll help you," for Fixie was tugging away at his chair, and could not manage to move it as he wanted. "I want to sit, aside Bee," he said. Rosy threw an angry look at him he understood what she meant. "I'll sit, aside you again to-morrow, Losy," he hastened to say. But it did no good. Rosy was now determined to find nothing right.
"See, Bee," said Fixie, while they were making their house, "see what a funny place I've found in the f'oor," and he pointed to a small, dark, round hole. It was made by what is called a knot in the wood having dried up and dropped out long, long ago probably, for, as I told you, the house was very old.
"I'm not sure that I 'membered her all of myself," he said, "but mamma telled me about her one day. Her's quite welldened now." Bee smiled a little at Fixie's funny way of speaking, but she thought to herself it was very nice for him to be such an honest little boy. "How do you know she's got well?" said Rosy, rather sharply. "Mamma telled me," said Fixie. "Yes," said Colin, "it's quite true.
"Wouldn't it be lovely?" said Rosy. "We were thinking perhaps you would be Red Riding Hood, and I the white cat. But we can look over all the fairy tales and think about it when you're better, can't we, Bee?" Beata got better much more quickly than Fixie had done.
"But Nelson thinks you took it another time, and forgot to put it back. And I think so too," said Rosy. To do her justice, she never, like Nelson, thought that Bee had taken the necklace on purpose. She did not even understand that Nelson thought so. "Rosy," said Bee very earnestly, "I did not take it another time. I have never seen it since that afternoon when Fixie had had it and I put it back.
The door opened, and her mother came in, leading Fixie by the hand and Colin just behind. "Oh, you're ready, Rosy," she said. "That's right. They should be here very soon." "Welly soon," repeated Fixie. "Oh, Fixie will be so glad to see Beenie again!" "What a stupid name," said Rosy. "We're not to call her that, are we, mother?"
"However, I am glad you mentioned the risk, for I think there is much more danger for Bee than for Rosy, for Bee, like Fixie, has had none of these illnesses. I will go up to the nursery and speak to Martha about it at once," and she turned towards the door. "But you will separate Rosy too," insisted Miss Vincent, "the dear child can sleep in my room.
I like boys better than girls, and I don't like good little girls at all." "Rosy," said her mother, "you are talking so sillily that if Fixie even talked like that I should be quite surprised. I won't answer you. I will not say any more about Beata you know what I wish, and what is right, and so I will leave it to you.
