And more good has come out of it, too. I have never known Harry for what he is, before to-day. 'I am so very glad, I said. 'Now, said Mr. Vandeleur, looking at his watch, 'it is past five o'clock. I shall spend the night at the hotel at Middlemoor, but I should like to stay with you three here, as late as possible. Do you think your good Kezia can give me something to eat?
When I woke, I had been making jumballs in the drawing-room with somebody who was both my Lady Inverness and my Aunt Kezia, and who told me that Colonel Keith had been appointed Governor of the American plantations, and that he would have to be dressed in corduroy. When I arose in the morning, I could and willingly would have thought the whole a dream.
Strong-minded as Mrs Kezia was, she possessed a woman's affectionate heart, and if she had never been in hysterics before, she was undoubtedly on this occasion. She very soon gained the mastery over herself, however. "What a fool I am; but you will not tell him of it, Owen," she said, "or he will be putting his back up at me."
Sophy spent the days with Father while my Aunt Kezia was here, and just went back to the Vicarage for the night. Father is very much delighted with Sophy's child, and calls him a bouncing boy, and a credit to the family; and Sophy thinks him the finest child that ever lived, as my Aunt Kezia saith every mother hath done since Eve.
But if that were all Girls, 'tis nigh dinner-time. You had better take your bonnets off." "What is the matter with my Aunt Kezia?" said I to Sophy, as we went up-stairs. "Don't ask me!" said that young lady. Half-way up-stairs we met Charlotte. "Oh, what fun you have missed, you two!" cried she. "Why didn't you come home a little sooner? I would not have lost it for a hundred pounds."
Hatty tried to whisper once or twice to Fanny, making her blush and look uncomfortable; but Fanny did not speak, and I fancy Hatty got tired. Amelia went to sleep. At last, and all at once, Flora honest, straightforward Flora laid her work on her knee, and looked up at my Aunt Kezia's grim set face. "Aunt Kezia, will you tell me, is something the matter?"
I charged him with all sorts of messages, which he said grimly that he would deliver if he recollected them when he got there: and I gave him a paper for my Aunt Kezia, with a list of things I would have sent. On Sunday we went to the Cathedral with our hosts, and spent the day quietly.
"Now sort of turn round and sit down and slide," said Kezia. "But there's nothing to sit down on, Kezia," said Lottie. She managed it at last, and once it was over she shook herself and began to beam. "I'm getting better at climbing over stiles, aren't I, Kezia?" Lottie's was a very hopeful nature.
The professor has received a new kind of snuff from Holland which Kezia says is indistinguishable in its effects from pepper one of his old students brought it to him and that's all the news," said Ralph, closing up the letter and laying it on the table. "Has Saunders Moudiewort cast his easy affections on any one this year yet?" Ralph asked, returning to the consideration of Winsome's hair.
"Why, child, did you think I was going to send my lamb out into the wilderness, with never a farewell?" "But how early you must have had to rise, Aunt Kezia!" "Mrs Kezia, this is an unlooked-for pleasure," said the Doctor, coming forward. "I could never have hoped to see you at this hour." "This hour! Why, 'tis but eight o'clock!" cries my Aunt Kezia.
