Tents are not convenient places in which to make private remarks. Flossy overheard this one and smiled to herself. Yes, she had gotten over her home-sickness she had found home. She gave a little exclamation of dismay as she heard the plannings for the day, and said: "But, Ruth, what about the meetings?"
He was a most affectionate husband, and never believed that his wife was capable of doing anything for herself. Parker was much amazed by Mrs. Vane's proceedings, and did not believe that the dentist was responsible for them, or Mr. Hubert Lepel either, although Flossy was careful to put the blame of her detention upon these innocent persons.
She was by no means the nurse, yet there was a little golden-haired "Flossy" in the sunny room upstairs whose devoted slave she was, and whose mother felt that Mattie's loving, watchful care over her darling was only second to her own, and was so to be relied upon, by day and night, as to repay tenfold whatever she might have done for the girl.
"That speaks well for the interest, or the fun, doesn't it? Now what do you suppose takes all these people to this place?" "I don't know," Flossy said thoughtfully, "I never thought much about it. Perhaps some of them came just as I did, because the girls were coming and asked me to. I'm sure I haven't the least idea what else I came for."
He shifted his tobacco quid and "guessed he'd have to get some white pants like that young red-headed fellow's." Then Father again proved himself magnificent. Wasn't he a New-Yorker? "No flossy tea-room and no bunch of young fellows in ice-cream breeches probably they were only clerks, anyway, if the truth was known! was going to scare your Uncle Dudley offn tea!
'Mother, said Flossy, who was rather afraid of her mother, and did not often put a direct question to her, 'if the baby stays up in the old, old attic-nursery, and if Pete and me and Snip can play with it and it never cries, then Mrs Potts and Mr Martin needn't know nothing about it, need they, mother?
"But, Flossy," said her embarrassed attendant in dismay, "you can't do these things, you know; wouldn't it be better to come with me, and we will go after this Auntie Green and tell her just what to do, and furnish the means to do it with. You know you are not used to anything of this kind." "I know it," she said quietly.
The interest of this episode served to restore somewhat Selma's serenity, but she kept her attention fixed on the table where the Williamses were sitting, observing with a sense of injury their gay behavior. To all appearances, Flossy was as light-hearted and volatile as ever. Her attire was in the height of fashion. Had adversity taught her nothing?
They must have quarrelled, he said to himself rather angrily Flossy had probably tried to tyrannise, and the girl had resented her interference. Flossy was a fool; he would speak to her about it as soon as he had the opportunity, and get the truth from her forgetting for the moment that, if ever a man set himself an impossible task, it was this one of getting the truth from Flossy.
'Yes, Peter, we'll run away, and we'll take Dickory. Where shall we take her to, Peter? 'Oh, I don't know, said Peter. 'We'll get her out of this, that's the first thing. How much money have you got, Flossy? 'A crooked halfpenny, said Flossy, in a decided voice. Peter sighed. He was older than Flossy, and he knew that a crooked halfpenny did not represent a large capital.
