'We're going to find a gov'ness, said Bobby, glaring at the conductor rather angrily. The young girl looked at him over the book she was reading. 'You want a registry, she said. 'There's a good one in Kensington High Street. I'll show it to you if you get out with me. True looked relieved. 'Is that the place where you find them? she asked.
Then, didn't that six-footer say a terrier dog was reskooed from the lower premises? To be sure there's many a terrier dog in London, but then didn't he likewise say that the gov'ness o' the family is a pretty gal? Wot more likely than that she's my young lady?

His arguments were exhausted, and all that was left to him was retreat. "I wuddent be that child's gov'ness f'r all th' money in th' world," he muttered, as he shuffled through the hall. "An' ter think they lift her home fr'm ch'ice. 'Twas th' lucky day f'r Miss Mary but I wish her here." Finding the coast clear, Patricia moved the scene of her activity to the reception-room.
