Kiss me, Floy. He had even a dislike, at such times, to the company of Wickam, and was well pleased when she strolled away, as she generally did, to pick up shells and acquaintances.
And mamma? why, she can sit whole hours with her hands folded, if she likes, and go to sleep whenever she feels tired; for she has earned plenty of money for herself, and little Floy, too. Floy is glad of this, because mamma smiles now, and looks happier and because all her old friends, who forgot all about her when she was poor, are so delighted now whenever they meet her.
It was not, however, of herself that Floy was thinking, as the tears started to her large blue eyes, and she pushed back her faded sun-bonnet, and looked wistfully at the "forbidden fruit." Floy once lived in a beautiful house in the country, with her papa and mamma.
'Don't show 'em to me, Miss Floy, if you please, returned Nipper, 'I'd as soon see Mrs Pipchin. 'I want you to buy them for me, Susan, if you will, tomorrow morning. I have money enough, said Florence.
"It is bearing me away I think." But Floy could always soothe and reassure him: and it was his daily delight to make her lay her head down on his pillow, and take some rest. "You are always watching me, Floy, let me watch you now." They would prop him up with cushions in a corner of his bed, and there he would recline the while she lay beside him, bending forwards oftentimes to kiss her.
Susan Nipper stood opposite to her young mistress one morning, as she folded and sealed a note she had been writing: and showed in her looks an approving knowledge of its contents. 'Better late than never, dear Miss Floy, said Susan, 'and I do say, that even a visit to them old Skettleses will be a Godsend.
'Miss Floy, said Susan Nipper, 'is the most devoted and most patient and most dutiful and beautiful of daughters, there ain't no gentleman, no Sir, though as great and rich as all the greatest and richest of England put together, but might be proud of her and would and ought.
'He says, here Susan burst into a violent hysterical laugh, 'that he'll go down into it now immediately and quite comfortable, but bless your heart my dear Miss Floy he won't, he's a great deal too happy in seeing other people happy for that, he may not be a Solomon, pursued the Nipper, with her usual volubility, 'nor do I say he is but this I do say a less selfish human creature human nature never knew! Miss Nipper being still hysterical, laughed immoderately after making this energetic declaration, and then informed Florence that he was waiting below to see her; which would be a rich repayment for the trouble he had had in his late expedition.
He asked, incredulously, as if he had some vision of a face before him. 'Oh yes, dear! 'Whose, Floy? 'Your old nurse's. Often. 'And where is my old nurse? said Paul. 'Is she dead too? Floy, are we all dead, except you?
'Because I know they say so, returned Paul, 'and I want to know what they mean, Floy. But a loud double knock coming at the door, and Florence hurrying to the table, there was no more said between them. Paul wondered again when he saw his friend whisper to Florence, as if she were comforting her; but a new arrival put that out of his head speedily.
