She had a manner of forced calmness as if she wished it to be understood that she was one of those who could be reasonable under any provocation, though she were trembling within which made Francie draw back. "C'est pourtant rempli de choses which we know you to have been told of by what folly, great heaven! It's right and left no one's spared it's a deluge of the lowest insult.
"Comfortable? of course we can!" cried Delia, but she remained erect while Francie sank upon the sofa again and their companion took possession of the nearest chair. "Do you remember what I told you once, that the people WILL have the plums?" George Flack asked with a hard buoyancy of the younger girl.
"Do you mean if they've been kind and sweet to me? They've been very kind and sweet," Francie mid. "They want to do even more than I'll let them." "Ah why won't you let them?" George Flack asked almost coaxingly. "Well, I do, when it comes to anything," the girl went on. "You can't resist them really; they've got such lovely ways."
He found himself wanting to handle his fellow visitor in a sense other than the professional. Mr. Probert talked very little to Francie, but though Mr. Flack didn't know that on a first occasion he would have thought this aggressive, even rather brutal, he knew it was for Francie, and Francie alone, that the fifth member of the party was there.
'Of course, said Bessie with the utmost heartiness, 'of course you must write everything to your mother, just as I shall to mamma. Thank you so much, dear Francie, for understanding so well. And and just one other little thing don't you think, just now, it will be better for you and Margaret not to talk about Lady Myrtle to each other?
He'll die!" cried the old man. "However, I won't answer for him; he'll tell you himself, when he returns." "He'll die?" echoed Francie with the eyes of a child at the pantomime who has found the climax turning to demons or monsters or too much gunpowder. "He'll never return how can he show himself?" said Mme. de Cliche. "That's not true he'll come back to stand by me!" the girl flashed out.
I have a duty here: a duty to my God, to myself, and to Haddo: in His strength, I will perform it. Then he straitly discharged Francie to repeat the tale, and bade him in the future to avert his very eyes from the doings of the curate. 'You must go to his place of idolatry; look upon him there! says he, 'but nowhere else. Avert your eyes, close your ears, pass him by like a three days' corp.
But they seemed to be huge friends, he thought; and was the more surprised, when the curate had taken his leave, to see the lassie fling stones after him with screeches of laughter, and Haddo turn about and caper, and shake his staff at her, and laugh louder than herself. A wonderful merry pair, they seemed; and when Francie had crawled out of the hag, he had a great deal to consider in his mind.
"Cherry," said he, "would it be inconvenient to keep Francie here just for the present?" "Not at all; it would be only too pleasant for Anna now that she loses her brother. But why?" "I want to hinder her from hearing the conclusions that her mother may draw from the diversions of yesterday." "I see. It might soon be, 'He cometh not, she said."
Francie sprang up, releasing herself from her sister, and threw her arms round him. "Will you take me away, poppa? will you take me right straight away?" "Of course I will, my precious. I'll take you anywhere. I don't want anything it wasn't MY idea!" And Mr. Dosson and Delia looked at each other while the girl pressed her face upon his shoulder.
