I gave her a warning glance not to say anything about lessons, so, after a pause, she said, "I will undertake to prepare the table for meals, and collect fruit and flowers, with the help of my three little ones." "Thank you very much, that will be very kind, and now you elder girls!" "Oh! we'll do as we are bid, except lessons," said Gatty.
Gatty. "I'll be Robinson Crusoe, and you shall be my Man Friday." Winny. "You must be Mrs. Robinson Crusoe, Gatty, because you are a woman." Mother. "Then I suppose we had better go away, and leave you two here." Oscar.
"Oh come, come," said Gatty, "that's too bad, how am I ever to get all the nonsense, that is in my head, out if I am only to talk English on Sundays." "My dear! you ought to have no nonsense in your head." "But there it is, Madame, and you will be very angry if I break the Sabbath, by making puns and guessing jokes all Sunday." "My dear Gertrude, your spirits carry you quite too far."

"She is not your Jenny, captain, she is mine, she is always to live with me, and, when I am married, she is to be my children's nurse." Sybil and Serena and Gatty all expressed their admiration, while Gatty added, "I wish Smart had sent his bullet where he said, for if there is an owl in the world it is that Hargrave."
