"I'm sure your uncle wouldn't let her." "Will you turn early, kite early?" Racey begged. "Yes, that I can promise you," she answered. But I too had some last words. "Miss Goldy-hair," I said, "you told me you wouldn't tell Uncle Geoff?" "Not without your leave, dear, I said," she replied. "But don't you think it would be better to tell him? Won't you trust me to tell him?" "But not Mrs.
Besides, it must be nearly your dinner-time, and I must be thinking of going home." "Please to draw your chair The table's ready." "Going home! Oh! Miss Goldy-hair," we all called out, "oh! we thought you were going to stay with us all day." Racey had come out of his corner and stood staring at Miss Goldy-hair. "Are you kite alone in the world?" he said gravely, "are you, Miss Doldy-hair?"
But before there was time to say any more the other lady came back from her inspection, and began asking so many things about the house that the young lady's attention was quite taken up. And soon after they went away. Afterwards I remember mother said she was sorry she had not asked the young lady's name. But we among ourselves fixed to call her "Miss Goldy-hair."
What a different coming from the last time! for there in the hall, looking as if she would have liked to run out into the street to see us, stood dear Miss Goldy-hair. We all flew into her arms. Then we all looked at her. She seemed a little different. She had a grey dress a very pretty one instead of her black one.
"Ah yes I think Miss Goldy-hair has been a sort of good fairy to us all;" and then he went on to tell me his plan. He was going to make some changes in the house, he said. Several of the rooms were to be painted and done up new, and it would be better for us to be away for two or three weeks.
"Nobody could be rich enough for that," I said. "And being rich isn't the only way to being kind," said Miss Goldy-hair. "Don't wait for that, Tom, to begin." "Of course not," I said. "Miss Goldy-hair's being kind to us has nothing to do with her being rich. You don't understand, Tom."
Did she never lose the key?" "Never," said Miss Goldy-hair. "She never lost the key. And she went not only when she was big, but when she was old, quite old. Indeed she got fonder and fonder of it the longer she lived, and it helped her through a hard and often suffering life. And I don't know but what in quite old age her visits to the garden were the happiest of all."
"What a merry little fellow he is," said Miss Goldy-hair, "how well he amuses himself." "Yes," I said, "he hasn't been near so dull as Tom and me. He was only frightened for fear the new nurse should whip him. But Uncle Geoff has promised she sha'n't, and so now Racey's quite happy and doesn't mind anything. I don't think he minds about mother going away now."
We were in the street by this time, walking along pretty quickly, for it was still raining a little and very cold. But we didn't mind it. Miss Goldy-hair knew the way so well. She turned down one or two small side streets, and then in a minute we found ourselves at Uncle Geoff's.
It made me feel gentler and different somehow, and I thought to myself that I would ask Miss Goldy-hair to tell me how I could know better what was the right way. I was just thinking that, and I think one or two tears had dropped on Tom's dark hair, when the door opened and Uncle Geoff came in. At first I couldn't help being frightened.
