I might have met Lucilla in the corridor, and have forced her back into her own room and turned the key on her. It was too late now to regret what had happened. "Jicks has been good," I said, patting my little friend on the head with a heavy heart.
She screamed, and stamped her tiny feet alternately on the ground, till she was purple in the face. She threw herself down, and rolled in fury on the grass. She got up from the ground, and dried her eyes with her knuckles, and fixed a warning look on Oscar. "Mind!" said this curious child, with her bosom still heaving under the dirty pinafore, "the men are to be beaten. And Jicks is to see it."
"Are there any robbers in this neighborhood?" he asked. "Lord love you, sir!" said the driver, "robbers would starve in these parts; we have got nothing worth thieving here." Jicks still watching the proceedings with an interest which allowed no detail to escape unnoticed assumed the responsibility of starting the men on their journey.
"What goes on in that child's head," said the driver, regarding Jicks with a sort of superstitious admiration, "the Lord only knows. She has a will of her own, and a way of her own. She is a child; and she aint a child. At three years of age, she's a riddle none of us can guess. And that's the long and the short of what I know about her."
"DEAR MADAME PRATOLUNGO, I regret to inform you that nothing happened to me last night. My locks and bolts are in their usual good order; my gold and silver plates are safe in the workshop: and I myself am now eating my breakfast with an uncut throat Yours ever, After this, there was no more to be said. Jicks might persist in remembering the two ill-looking strangers.
