Hablot, and Gillian thought she saw 'I told you so' in the corners of Aunt Jane's eyes. It was a further offence that her aunt strongly recommended her going regularly to the High School instead of only attending certain classes. It would give her far more chance of success at the examination to work with others and her presence would be good for Valetta.
'No, I don't think I could; besides, I don't like to set any one to poke and meddle in mamma's drawers. 'And she could hardly judge what could be available, added Miss Ada. 'Gillian must go to find it, said Aunt Jane; 'and let me see, when have I a day? Saturday is never free, and Monday I could ask Mrs. Hablot to take the cutting out, and then I could look up Lily's Brussels
Aunt Jane sent the biggest turkey and ham in a basket covered up with holly to Mrs. White, and another to Mrs. Hablot, and they are doing the church with the holly and ivy. We are to eat the other the day after to-morrow, and Mr. Grant and Miss Burne, who teaches the youngest form, are coming. It was only cold beef to-day, to let Mrs.
Rotherwood built splendid schools, so we only have an infant school for the Rockstone children. On Sunday, Jane assembles the older children there and takes them to church; but in the afternoon they all go to the National Schools, and then to a children's service at St. Andrew's. She gets on so well with Mr. Hablot -he was dear Claude's curate, you see, and little Mrs.
That is the tale's bare outline; and if any one says of the book that it is in parts melodramatic, one may fitly answer that never was any portion of the world's history such a thorough piece of melodrama as the French Revolution. With "The Tale of Two Cities" Hablôt K. Browne's connection with Dickens, as the illustrator of his books, came to an end.
Anna could not but own the wisdom of the decision, and Emmie, after grumbling at Aunt Cherry, took herself off. She had visited the Infirmary and the Convalescent Home, and even persuaded Mrs. Hablot to show her the Union Workhouse, but she never sent her contribution to the Mouse-trap. Do the work that's nearest, Though it's dull at whiles, Helping, when we meet them, Lame dogs over stiles.
'There is our old church, said Aunt Ada, as they had a glimpse of a gray tower with a curious dumpy steeple. 'Do you go to church there! 'I do -always. I could not undertake the hill on Sundays; but Jane takes the school-children to the St. Andrew's service in the afternoon. 'But which is the parish church? 'In point of fact, my dear; it is all one parish. Good morning, Mr. Hablot.
Bridesmaids would have been rather a difficulty; but then the deep mourning of Kalliope and Maura made a decided reason for excluding them; and Miss Adeline, who knew that a quiet wedding would be in much the best taste, resolved to content herself with two tiny maidens, Primrose and the contemporary Hablot, her own goddaughter, who, being commonly known as Belle, made a reason for equipping each in the colour and with the flowers of her name, and the idea was carried out with great taste.
'The fact is, that young ladies have got beyond Sunday-schools! 'No, no, Jane, said her sister; 'Gillian is quite willing to help you; but it is very nice in her to wish to take charge of the children. 'They would be much better with Mrs. Hablot than dawdling about here and amusing themselves in the new Sunday fashion.
'You will find the convenience of having one so near. And our services are very nice with our present rector, Mr. Ellesmere, an excellent active man, but his wife is such an invalid that all the work falls on Jane. I am so glad you are here to help her a little. St. Andrew's has a separate district, and Mr. Hablot is the vicar; but as it is very poor, we keep the charities all in one.
