"Lost what, Charlotte?" "Lost what? Ask my Aunt Kezia now just you do!" "My Aunt Kezia seems unapproachable," said Sophy. Charlotte went off into a fit of laughter, and then slid down the banister to the hall a feat which my Aunt Kezia has forbidden her to perform a dozen times at least. We went forward, made ourselves ready for dinner, and came down to the dining-parlour.
I see that for all practical purposes my Aunt Kezia agrees with Annas. And indeed what they say sounds but reasonable. It was the second of April when we left London. The last evening before we set out, my Aunt Kezia, Hatty, and I, spent at Mr Raymond's with Annas.
"As for the early Christians, poor souls! they had mortifications enough from the heathen around them, without giving themselves trouble to make troubles," said my Aunt Kezia. "And the old monks, poor misguided dirty things! I hope you don't admire them. But what do you mean by saying they were not means to an end, but only discipline? If that were so, discipline was the end of them.
"Don't, Kezia," said Maggie, angrily. "Go away!" "But I tell you you're to come down, Miss, this minute; your mother says so," said Kezia, going up to Maggie and taking her by the hand to raise her from the floor. "Get away, Kezia; I don't want any dinner," said Maggie, resisting Kezia's arm. "I sha'n't come." "Oh, well, I can't stay. I've got to wait at dinner," said Kezia, going out again.
I hardly listened, for I was trying the new knitting stitch which Flora taught me, and it is rather a difficult one, so that it took all my mind: but all at once I heard Amelia say, "The beauty of self-sacrifice!" My Aunt Kezia lapped up the petticoat in which she was running the tucks, laid it on her knee, folded her hands on it, and looked full at Amelia.
One of Job's daughters; Jemima, Kezia, and Keren-Happuch. There are a good many Jemimas in the world, and some Kezias, but I never heard of a Keren-Happuch; and yet we know just as much of one as of another. People really like a pretty name, whether in Scripture or out of it." "When there is no particular association with the name," said Mr Benson.
Eden's cottage, because she did not know the nature of Agnes's complaint, and her aunt could not bear that Florence should go into any house where there was illness. In the course of the walk, however, she met Kezia, on her way to the New Court, to ask for a blister for Agnes, the doctor having advised Mrs.
I've had nothing to eat all day except two buns I bought at Paddington Station, and my head's aching dreadfully. 'Oh, dear, said Lindsay, who was a soft-hearted little fellow, and most ready to sympathise, especially in those troubles which he best understood, 'you must be awfully hungry. We had our tea some time ago, but Kezia always gives us supper.
"Yes," interposed Kezia, "or I would not give sixpence for his peace of mind these next six months." "It is all right if you tell us," said little Keren-happuch, who was her father's playmate.
"Ah, Kezia" her grandma looked up and smiled and shook her head "don't let's talk about it." "But you're not to. You couldn't leave me. You couldn't not be there." This was awful. "Promise me you won't ever do it, grandma," pleaded Kezia. The old woman went on knitting. "Promise me! Say never!" But still her grandma was silent.
