Lucy was up-stairs, writing to Major Hazleby; and Helen was sitting in the school-room, where Elizabeth was teaching the children. Little Winifred had just finished her lessons, and was skipping off in high glee with her medal round her neck, to tell her mamma that she had gained four good marks.
'Nonsense, Anne, said Elizabeth, laughing too; 'but I hope you quite give up the Hazlebys after this specimen. 'Now, Lizzie, said Helen, 'that is quite in your unjust sweeping style of censuring. You do not mean to say that Lucy, or the Major, or the boys, are disagreeable. 'Root and branch, they are all infected, said Elizabeth; 'who could help it, living with Mrs. Hazleby?
Bouverie, 'but I think her brow and eye exceedingly beautiful and full of expression. 'Oh yes, cried Mrs. Hazleby, 'she is thought vastly clever, I assure you, though for my part I never could see anything in her but pertness. 'She has not the air of being pert, said Mrs. Bouverie. 'Oh! she can give herself airs enough, said Mrs.
'She has a remarkably fine countenance, said Mrs. Bouverie. 'Do you admire her? said Mrs. Hazleby; 'well, I never could see anything so remarkably handsome in Lizzie Woodbourne. Too thin, too sharp, too high-coloured; Kate is twenty times prettier, to say nothing of the little ones. 'I should not call Miss Woodbourne pretty, said Mrs.
'O Harriet! said Lucy, looking up from her work with some indignation in her eyes. 'I believe you think it all very grand, Lucy, said her mother; 'you care for nothing as long as you can dawdle about with Helen. Pray did you go to this fine place? 'No, Mamma, said Lucy. 'H m, said Mrs. Hazleby, rather disappointed at losing an opportunity of scolding her.
'What is the matter? whispered she; 'has it all come out? 'Yes, it is in the paper, and Papa is very angry, sighed Katherine. 'Is there anything about me? asked Harriet eagerly, paying no regard to poor Katherine's woful appearance and streaming eyes. 'Oh no, nothing, said Katherine, hastening away, as Mrs. Hazleby and Lucy came into the passage.
'Anne, I declare cried Rupert. 'And, Mamma, this dreadful doggerel, proceeded Anne, 'proposed to send Fido's heart to this Mr. Hollis, and so put him in raptures with a gift from Miss Hazleby, and fill his mind with visions of a surrogate, and a wedding tour to Harrogate. Now was it not the most impertinent ungentlemanlike thing you ever heard of?
Hazleby is her daughter in a magnifying glass, said Rupert; 'a glorious specimen of what you all may come to. And Mrs. Woodbourne? 'Oh! I have nothing to do with the elders, said Anne; 'but if you want me to find you a fault in her, I shall say that she ought to control her unwillingness to correct people. And now we have discussed almost everyone.
Hazleby was on the point of taking fire at the implied suspicion of her lamented favourite's sanity, when Rupert averted the threatened danger, by a grave examination of Winifred and Meg Merrilies, who had both been wounded, and concluded by recommending that as soon as puss shewed symptoms of hydrophobia, Winifred should be smothered between two feather-beds, to prevent further mischief.
Hazleby, scolding and snapping for ever; and Harriet, with her finery and folly and vulgarity. And that at a time which ought to be full of peace, and glorious feelings. Oh! they will spoil all the pleasure! 'All? said Helen. 'All that they can touch, all that depends upon sympathy, said Elizabeth. 'Well, but I do not see said Katherine.
