Mixed wi' thistles, mebbe? An' then he used a bit of 'is master's or'nary language, which as ye knows, Passon, is chice partic'ler chice. 'Evil communications c'rupts good manners' even in a valet wot 'as no more to do than wash an' comb a man like a 'oss, an' pocket fifty pun a year for keepin' of 'is haristocratic master clean. Lor'! what a wurrld it is! what a wurrld!"
Now, I'd like to find out, Nancy, my girl, if she has ever shown that locket and chain to her haristocratic aunt. Do you suppose the haristocratic lady has set eyes on it?" Nancy laughed. "I guess not," she said. "Paulie's a bit of a coward. She wants to know us and yet she don't. She wants to know us behind the aunt's back." "Left hand, not right hand," said the farmer. "I don't like that sort."
But, all the same, I don't hold with young ladies forcing their way into my kitchen; it's not haristocratic." "Never mind that ugly word. Will you do what I want?" "What is it, Miss Pen?" "Palefy me. Make me sort of refined. Take the color out of me. Bleach me that's it. I want to go to the seaside. Pale people go; rosy people don't. I want to be awful pale by to-night. How can it be done?
"No, you don't. No, you certain sure don't. Because you looked pretty and a bit coaxing I gave up Miss Dunstable and the Dook of Mauleverer-Wolverhampton two hours ago, but not another minute will I spare from them. It's in their select society that I spend my haristocratic evening." Verena knew that it would be useless to coax Betty any further.
When next the children saw Dickory she was beautifully dressed, she had a grand nurse all to herself, and two splendid nurseries entirely at her own disposal. The grand nurse said that she was a most refined baby, that she must have very good blood in her veins, for she had such a 'haristocratic way.
"Ah, dear Christ!" she whispered. "If Thy cross could do this for Jew and Gentile, may not my boy's heavy cross, so bravely borne, do it for him and for me? So shall we come at last, indeed, to 'kiss the cross." The breakfast gong boomed through the house. Simpson loved gongs. He considered them "Haristocratic." He always gave full measure. Nurse Rosemary went down to breakfast.
