But it was not on Viva that the young lady's attention was riveted, but upon the figure by her side Mamzelle Paddy in all the glory of a French hat, wearing the very biggest hair-ribbon in her possession, in honour of the occasion. At sight of the profile the young lady started and cried, "It is! It must be!" Then she dodged backwards, saw the hat, and became filled with doubt. "No, it can't be!
Mamzelle Mary Susan Marguerite had been born early in the spring, and to the general wonder of the household, seemed to have reconciled her father to the inevitable cries and noises of babyhood.
What would Mrs Wallace say to him when he got home, and what should he say to himself if through any fault or carelessness a serious injury had happened to sweet little Mamzelle! "Why on earth do they want to put these irons at the end of a boat? Wretched, dangerous things!" cried the distracted man to himself.
He thinks Mamzelle Paddy would be the solution of all our nursery troubles, if you could be induced to spare her to us. I would be very careful of her; I promise you that!" Jack looked at Bridgie; Bridgie looked at Jack. "I'd be delighted that she should help you, and it would be an amusement to her to play with the dear little girls. If she might come as a friend "
Anne hesitated, debating with herself whether her uncle would wish her to tell. Mademoiselle changed the question. "When he had you to promise that, were you expecting to go to Nantes?" "Yes, Mamzelle." Anne was sure she might answer this. "And then seeing Dr. La Farge changed all the plans, you know." Mademoiselle nodded her head. Yes, she knew.
She was all eagerness to see the London circus, and nearly as much excited as her pupils, as they drove up to the door, and took their seats on the red velvet chairs. Inda sat by her mother and stared solemnly around, but Viva insisted upon being next her dear Mamzelle, and pranced up and down in a manner which augured ill for future comfort.
Mrs Wallace gave a start of consternation, and the smile faded from her lips. She looked first at Bridgie, then across the room to where Viva stood on tiptoe dragging at Pixie's sleeve, and reiterating, "Mamzelle! Mamzelle Paddy, will you come again to my nursery? Will you tell me more stories about those peoples in the lamp-posts?" "Oh, don't say it is impossible!" she said softly.
"That'll be her, I expect. Mamzelle Vivien the palmist just across the way." "Oh, she's a palmist, is she?" I exclaimed. The thought of George consulting a palmist was decidedly entertaining. Perhaps he wanted to find out whether I was likely to wring his neck. With a side glance at the chauffeurs, the landlord leaned a little towards me and slightly lowered his voice.
And she nodded a great many times, and ate her salad very fast. Briggs surveyed her with much complacency. "You are a talented woman, Mamzelle," he said, "very talented! I admire your ways I really do!" Mamzelle smiled with a gratified air, and Briggs settled his wig, eyeing her anew with fresh interest. "Wot a witness you would be in a divorce case!" he continued enthusiastically.
Mamzelle Paddy was a grand institution, and being generously disposed people, Mr and Mrs Wallace endeavoured to show their gratitude by including her in the many amusements which were arranged for the children's benefit. She accompanied them on sight-seeing expeditions, organised games at evening parties, and on one memorable occasion paid a visit to the circus.
