'I know there have to be degrees of things rich and poor, and I suppose it's not wrong to be rich, if if one doesn't get selfish. That isn't what I meant. I'm very pleased you've got the watch, Jass, and I wish I hadn't said that. 'I wish you hadn't too, said her sister. 'It has taken away a good deal of my pleasure; and somehow, Frances, very often now, I don't understand you.
'Oh Jass, she said, when they found themselves in the pleasant, rather 'old-world-looking' bedroom, where a tiny wood-fire sparkling in the grate gave a cheery feeling of welcome as they entered 'Oh Jass, isn't it like a dream?
So the chances are that we may have to return to India after his leave is over, and be joined by you, dear Jass, a year later; though at worst I hope we shall be settled in England before my little Francie would be ready to come out. But I don't mean to think of anything at present but the unexpected joy of seeing you all three again so soon.
It is not an uncommon sight to see a crowd of white doughboys around a piano in some 'Y' or Red Cross hut, singing to beat the band, with a colored jass expert pounding the stuffing out of the piano.
'But you know, Aunt Alison, Jass must be a great deal with Lady Myrtle, and I shouldn't know what to do all day, and Eugene wouldn't either. 'It'll be all right, you'll see, said Jacinth, who, now that she was satisfied as to her aunt, felt in high spirits. 'You can go about just as you like with Phebe, and it's only for a week. I don't think I should stay more than a week, Aunt Alison?
'Oh well, because Jass didn't know Bessie and Margaret nearly as well as I did, and you must have seen by her letters that she didn't care about them like me, said Frances. 'But that does not, in one way, much signify, replied her mother. 'Once Jacinth knows all about them she will feel as we do: your father and I do not know any of them personally.
He proud er you, but he teahbul mad at dat man. He hain't mad at you, but he gotter cuss somebody! Jass reach out fo' de nighes' he kin lay han's on, an' dis mawn' it happen soze it were you, honey. Uhuh! You oughter hearn him ins' night when he come home. Den it were me. Bless God, I ain't keerin'. He weren't mad at me, no mo'n' he were at you. He jass mad!"
She glanced up at Jacinth, and saw that her face was very grave. 'Jass, she said, stealing up to her and speaking in a soft apologetic tone, 'I'm very sorry for being cross. I think I am rather tired, though I did so enjoy myself this afternoon. Perhaps I'd better go to bed, for I want to write most of my letter to mamma to-morrow. I want to write her a good long one this time.
I'll explain to Aunt Alison; and if I lend you my wide black sash, I'm sure it will look quite mourning enough. 'Oh Jass, exclaimed Frances, 'how good of you! The honour and glory of Jacinth's best black sash was almost too much for her. 'Really, I should never be cross to Jass. She is so very, very kind and unselfish, thought the grateful little girl.
If you will get on with your lessons now, Frances, so as to be able to say at dinner that you have quite finished, I will go down-stairs and watch for Aunt Alison. She will be in by one, to-day, and I'll ask her for you. 'Oh thank you, Jass, said Frances gratefully. 'Yes, I'll hurry up. But Jass' 'Well? Francie's face grew very grave. 'It's about my things, Jass.
