Father says she is a fine girl, but she will break her neck some day. My Aunt Kezia says, Saint Paul told women to be keepers at home, and she thinks that page must have dropped out of Charlotte's Bible. She does some other things, too, that I do not fancy she would care for my Aunt Kezia to hear. She calls her father "the old gentleman," and sometimes "the old boy."
"I never could demean myself to be just an every-day creature like that!" "I am sorry for your husband," said my Aunt Kezia, bluntly, "and still more for yourself.
Bateson often says to me, 'Kezia, he says, 'call no man honest till his will's read. And I'll be bound he's in the right. Still, it would be hard to see Miss Elisabeth begging her bread after the way she's been brought up, and Miss Farringdon would never have the conscience to let her do it." "Folks leave their consciences behind with their bodies," said Mrs.
"Come, Mrs Kezia," said Mr Bagnall, "let us make it up by glasses all round, and a toast to the sweet Puritan memory of Mrs Deborah Hunter." "No, thank you," said my Aunt Kezia.
"Well, that is true, Hatty, if nothing else is," said Fanny. "I have `horrid glazed red cheeks, and I eat like a plough-boy; and I don't take castor oil. Castor oil is evidently one of the Christian graces." "How can you be so ridiculous!" said Sophy. "See, you have made the poor child cry." "With passion, my dear, which is a very wicked thing, as I am sure my Aunt Kezia would tell her.
"Well, my dear, we will see," said my Aunt Kezia; and I think she was pleased with Sophy too. Hatty declared that Bracewell would just suit her, and she would not stay at any price, if she had leave to choose. So it seems to be settled in that way.
And very likely being so very troubled and anxious herself, about you as well as about other things, made your grandmamma appear less kind than usual. Kezia stopped and hesitated a little. 'I think as things are, she said, 'I can't be doing wrong in telling you a little more than you know.
'I have a home still, I thought; 'Windy Gap is ours, I could live there with Kezia and trouble nobody and hardly cost anything. I won't stay here to be sent to school; I don't think I am bound to bear it. I crept out of my corner. 'Surely my room will be ready by now, I thought, and walking very slowly still, for falling asleep in the cold had made me even stiffer, I made my way upstairs.
"Yes, my dear," my Aunt Kezia seemed to snap out. "Satan's the matter." "I don't know what you mean, Aunt," said Flora. "'Tis a mercy if you don't. No, child, there is not much the matter for you. The matter's for me and these girls here. Well, to be sure! there's no fool like an old f Caroline! You are herring-boning that seam on the wrong side!" Alas! the charge was true.
In Fanny's, which she and Hatty have when we are by ourselves, are Fanny and Amelia. In the green spare chamber are Hatty and Cecilia; and in the blue one, Flora and me. My Aunt Kezia said she thought we should find that the pleasantest arrangement; but I do wish she had given Flora to Hatty, and put Cecilia with me.
