Helen's face rippled over with smiles, and the boy's brightened, and he too smiled in a way that made him look frank, handsome, and singularly attractive. "Oh, I say, you are pretty," he said. "Ten times as pretty as Miss Hippetts on Sundays." "Hah! yes. Never mind about Miss Hippetts.
"Yes, sir; went off quite quiet in his sleep," said the old nurse in answer to the doctor's question. "And the child?" "Oh, I gave him a good wash, sir, which he needed badly," said the woman volubly. "Poor little wretch!" muttered the doctor as he went away. "A tramp's child a waif cast up by the way. Ah, Hippetts, I was right, you see: it was not for long." "I want some more."
"Yes, yes, yes, Mr Hippetts," said the doctor, cutting him short. "I'm sure he will. Now, my man, are you ready?" "Yes, sir," cried the boy eagerly; "but " "Well?" said the doctor kindly. "I should like to say good-bye to some of the chaps, and I've got something to give 'em." "Indeed! what?"
The boy then held out his hand to the master, and he also shook hands in a dignified way. "Shall I send the boy on, sir?" said Mr Hippetts. "Thanks, no, Hippetts; I'll take him with me." "Would you like a fly, sir?" "No, Hippetts; I'm not ashamed for people to see what I do. Come along, my lad." "Please, sir; mayn't I say good-bye to Mother Curdley?" "Mother Curdley? Who is she!" "Nurse, sir."
"But this is an admirably behaved boy, sir," protested Mr Hippetts. "Mr Sibery here can speak very highly of his qualifications." "Oh yes, sir," put in the schoolmaster with a severe smile and a distant bow, for he felt annoyed at not being consulted. "Yes, yes," said the doctor; "but not my style of boy."
