'Dear Miss Floy! cried Susan, bursting out afresh, and shaking her head violently, 'it's nothing new to you to help yourself and others too and be the patientest and truest of noble hearts, but let me talk to Mr Walter Gay and settle it with him, for suffer you to go away across the world alone I cannot, and I won't. 'Alone, Susan? returned Florence.
Still Floy never complained; but sometimes when she could bear the monotonous, dull stillness no longer, she would slide her little hand round her mamma's waist, and say, "Please, Mamma, put up that ugly pen, and take me on your lap."
She was quite sure she had met some of them once or twice, when mamma had taken her out to church but somehow they didn't seem to see either mamma or Floy. Well, my dear children, it was the thought of all these things that sent the warm tears to Floy's bright eyes, as she looked in at the fruiterer's window that hot August morning. Two years have gone by. It is August again.
Two days later the official inquiry into the cause of her death was held at the Rising Sun Inn, before Mr. Floy, the coroner, and a jury of the chief inhabitants of the district.
'I have been in your service, Sir, said Susan Nipper, with her usual rapidity, 'now twelve 'year a waiting on Miss Floy my own young lady who couldn't speak plain when I first come here and I was old in this house when Mrs Richards was new, I may not be Meethosalem, but I am not a child in arms.
When he awoke the sun was high and the broad day was clear and warm. He lay a little, looking at the windows, which were open, and the curtains rustling in the air, and waving to and fro, then he said, "Floy, is it to-morrow? Is she come?" The next thing that happened was a noise of footsteps on the stairs, and then Paul woke woke mind and body and sat upright in his bed.
Miss Florence has just come home, hasn't she?" "Yes, Mrs. Richards, and here, Miss Floy, before you've been in the house a quarter of an hour, you go a-smearing your wet face against the expensive mourning that Mrs. Richards is a-wearing for your ma!" With this remonstrance, young Spitfire, whose real name was Susan Nipper, detached the child from her new friend by a wrench as if she were a tooth.
Died. in you were in India, I should die, Floy. She hurriedly put her work aside, and laid her head down on his pillow, caressing him. And so would she, she said, if he were there. He would be better soon. 'Oh! I am a great deal better now! he answered. 'I don't mean that. I mean that I should die of being so sorry and so lonely, Floy!
When your poor dear Ma died, Miss Floy, I was very new in the family, you see, and my element: the Nipper bridled, as opining that her merits had been always designedly extinguished by Mr Dombey: 'was the floor below the attics. 'To be sure, said Florence, still thoughtfully; 'you are not likely to have known who came to the house. I quite forgot.
'Oh, it's a long, long distance off, said Florence, raising her eyes from her work. 'Weeks off? asked Paul. 'Yes dear. Many weeks' journey, night and day. 'If you were in India, Floy, said Paul, after being silent for a minute, 'I should what is it that Mama did? I forget. 'Loved me! answered Florence. 'No, no. Don't I love you now, Floy? What is it?
