To tell you the truth, lambkin, I didn't want it. I only feared you might make a bad use of it; and now I can trust Nan with you a little oftener, especially as I have got the key of your portmanteau; so that you can neither corrupt her with money, nor fine things. Never did any body look more silly than I. O how I fretted, to be so foolishly outwitted! And the more, as I had hinted to Mr.
When the cook heard that the lambkin could speak and said such sad words to the fish down below, he was terrified and thought this could be no common lamb, but must be bewitched by the wicked woman in the house.
"Her Grace says there was a great change in him yesterday, that she noticed it as he ate his dinner." "And was there no change in the night?" said Katherine sagely. "Speak out, Lambkin, that 'tis on thy mind if thou dost mean, was he disturbed when the castle was aroused? why, no, he was not." "But how didst thou know there was an arousal?"
But now that I have heard them, 'tis my meed to be punished by thy sharp tongue for that I could not help. Come, Sweet, forgive and love me. Have I not suffered enough?" "Lambkin, I am out of all humour with thee. Thou art half a termagant, I admit!" "And thou, too, wert privy to this deception. I am truly without friends!" and the maid began to weep softly behind her handkerchief.
I found Mr. Lambkin in, and he told me as how, accordin' to last accounts, Gusty was stayin' with her uncle Van Quintem. I knowed your address, and come up here short metre. I was goin' to pretend that I was a man in search of work, and trust to luck to get a sight of Gusty.
Then said he, "Be easy, I will not kill thee," and took another sheep and made it ready for the guests, and conveyed the lambkin to a good peasant woman, to whom he related all that he had seen and heard. The peasant was, however, the very woman who had been foster-mother to the little sister, and she suspected at once who the lamb was, and went with it to a wise woman.
I found old flabby, and she took me to a cosy little room with a table ready spread. So come, my Lambkin, when his Lordship finds not a baby but a rare gem for his costly setting, his heart will bound with pleasure and he will regret he did not prepare for a great lady instead of an infant." Timorously the maid followed Janet through intricate windings to the broad stairway.
"Will my lord arrive soon, dost think, Janet?" "I know not. Why art thou so solicitous on a sudden of his outgoings and incomings?" "I would make another effort to save Christopher, if I could but converse with my lord." "And what wouldst thou give him in exchange for the fool's life?" "Everything, Janet, all that I have to give should be his." "Then that includes thy heart, Lambkin?"
Now, pardon me, but how much ready money have you laid away?" "Three hundred and twelve dollars." "Whew!" "It is a good deal," said Polly, with modest pride; "and it would have been more yet if we had not just painted the house." "'A good deal! my poor lambkin! I hoped it was $1012, at least; but, however, you have the house, and that is as good as money.
As they went on their way the angel said: "Shall I tell thee of myself? For I was a little helpless babe when I came hither to this fair garden and into this heavenly life." "Perchance thou knowest her, my precious lambkin!" cried the Mother. "I was a babe when I came hither," said the angel. "See how I am grown and what happiness hath been mine!
