'You two girls are to be together of course, and Eugene's little room is on the next floor. Eugene, who was following with his sister Frances, whose hand he held, here squeezed it while he looked up in her face with anxiety. 'Never mind, she whispered. 'It's quite a little house compared to granny's, Eugene. You can't be far away.
And Granny ordered Lady Betty to be carried sight-seeing to Larks' Hall, and made minute arrangements for her to inspect Granny's old domain, from garret to cellar, from the lofty usher-tree at the gate to the lowly "Plaintain ribbed that heals the reapers' wound" in the herb-bed.
Where were they to pass the darkness? how find shelter for sleep? It was a question that gave Tommy no anxiety. He had been on the tramp often, now with one party, now with another of his granny's lodgers, and had frequently slept in the open air, or under the rudest covert.
"I'm no more stupid than you are!" retorted Reddy in the most impudent way. "What's that?" demanded Granny. "What's that you said?" "I said I'm no more stupid than you are, and what is more, I hope I'm not so stupid. I know better than to take a nap in broad daylight right under the very nose of Farmer Brown's boy." Reddy grinned in the most impudent way as he said this. Granny's eyes snapped.
This made Gwen feel dreadfully afraid Granny Marrable would think the gentleman was laughing at her. But Adrian had taken a better measure of the Granny's childlike simplicity and directness than hers. He ran on, as though it was all quite right.

"But I've got to look after granny and granp," gasped Jessie, "they are old, and granny's ill, and and they've taken care of me all this time, and now I've got to take care of them. I'm very sorry, but I can't look after you too." "Dear me!" muttered the man. "How polite we are! But whether you can or you can't, you've got to!
Fanny with her fowls, Trusty, and Kitty, the tortoiseshell cat; and her doll, which had a house of its own fitted with furniture; and, more than all, with the consciousness of her granny's affection, considered herself one of the happiest little girls in existence. Everybody in the house, indeed, loved her; and she was kind, and gentle, and loving to every one in return.
"Well now you ask me I should say Mrs. Prichard she wants the child all to herself." Aunt M'riar's assumption that this inquiry had been made without suggestion on her own part was unwarranted. "I'll tell you, ladies," said Uncle Mo, rolling with laughter. "The old granny's just as jealous as any schoolgirl! She's that, and you may take my word for it."
