"She'll be like the Jampot only, a lady, so she won't be able to punish us as the Jampot could." I expect that Mr. and Mrs. Cole had great difficulty in finding anyone who would do. Thirty years ago governesses were an incapable race, and belonged too closely either to the Becky Sharp or the Amelia type to be very satisfactory.
"All right." "Why, that's good news. Then you you won't mind my goin' off to to do a little prospectin'?" The sick man frowned: "You stay right where you are. There's plenty in that jampot." "Yes, yes! jampot's fillin' up fine." "Besides," the low voice wavered on, "didn't we agree we'd learned the lesson o' the North?" "The lesson o' the North?" repeated the other with filling eyes. "Yes, sah.
Thompson, the jeweller in Market Street, pressed his nose to the pane, and refused to listen when the Jampot suggested that he should move forward. He could see the diamonds like drops of water in the sun, and the pearls like drops of milk, and the rubies like drops of blood, but it was not of diamonds, pearls or rubies that he was thinking he thought only of his village.
He would have told the Captain all about the schoolroom and the toy village and the Jampot and the fun they had had teasing Miss Jones had not, the Captain fiercely told him that these things did not interest him, and that he had better just answer the questions that were put to him.
"When everyone's been so good to you to-day and the things you've been given and all why, it's a wicked shame." The Jampot, who was a woman happily without imagination, saw a naughty small boy spoiled and needing the slipper. A rook, taking a last look at the world before retiring to rest, watching from his leafless bough, saw a mortal spirit defying the universe, and sympathised with it.
Although he attached himself quite deliberately to Jeremy, he did this in no sentimental fashion, and in his animosities towards the Jampot, Aunt Amy and the boy who helped with the boots and the knives, he was always restrained and courteous. The Jampot hated him with a passion that caused the nursery to quiver with emotion.
The Jampot, only a week before the date of her departure, came to her mistress and begged, with floods of tears, to be allowed to continue in her service. But Mrs. Cole, with all her placidity, was firm. The Jampot had to go. I would like to paint a pleasant picture of the sentiment of the Cole children on this touching occasion; something, perhaps, in the vein of tragi-comedy with which Mr.
This thought amused him, and he began to laugh. "You naughty boy; now come along, do," said the Jampot, who distrusted laughter in Jerry. "I'll ring the bells when I grow up," he said, "and I'll ring them in the middle of the night, so that everyone will have to go to church when they don't want to. I'll be able to do what I like when I grow up." "No, you won't," said Helen.
Perhaps He wished to see whether they were truly obedient as the Jampot had sometimes wished in the old days. He was only, it might be, pretending. Perhaps He was demanding that one of them should give up something something of great value. Even Jeremy, himself!... If he had to sacrifice something to save his mother, what would be the hardest sacrifice?
The coming of the new year meant the going of the Jampot, and the going of the Jampot meant the breaking of a life-time's traditions.
