"You shall fix your room just as you choose," said Patty kindly; "and if I can help you in any way, I'll be glad to do so. How are you progressing, Mancy?" Patty stepped across the hall to her cook's room, and found its stout occupant rather precariously perched on a chair, tacking up a picture.
After school she returned to find a supplementary lot of bills had been left by the postman, and also Mancy presented her with a number of bills which the tradesmen had left that morning. Patty took the whole lot to her desk, and with methodical exactness noted the amounts on the pages of her little books.
"No'm; but I'll know it's there jes' the same." "All right; here goes, then," and soon Patty had the rest of the gaudy lithographs tacked into their designated places. "Now, Mancy," she said, as she jumped down from the chair for the last time, "you don't want any other pictures, do you? It would interfere with the artistic unities to introduce any other school."
"Mine won't need anything," said Pansy, "except what's in it already, and what I've got to put in it myself. I brought my decorations over this morning." "Oh, you did?" said Patty. "Well, bring them along, and we'll all go upstairs together." "I'll get mine, too," said Mancy, shuffling toward the kitchen. The servants' rooms were in the third story.
She is ignorant and inexperienced, but Very willing to learn. Do you think you could get along with her?" "Is she good-natured?" asked Mancy. "I don't know her very well," said Patty; "but I think she is. I'm sure she will be, if we are." "Den dat's all right," said Mancy. "I kin look after you two chilluns, I 'spect, and get my work done, too. When shall I come?"
"Well," she said, "some of them aren't quite right, but I think the others will be." "And I think you're working too hard," said Marian kindly. "You come away with me now, and rest a little bit; and, Mancy, you put a little lunch for us on the dining-room table, won't you? Just anything will do, you know."
"Well, then, Mancy, I'll tell you what: you make us a nice pot of chocolate, and fix us some thin bread and butter, and cut up some of the fruit cake to put with those little fancy cakes; won't that do?" "Yas'm, I spec' so; but it's a mighty slim layout, 'specially for dem hearty young chaps. But you go 'long, honey, I'll fix it somehow."
And ye shall understand, that my fellows and I with our yeomen, we served this emperor, and were his soldiers fifteen months against the King of Mancy, that held against him. And the cause was for we had great lust to see his noblesse and the estate of his court and all his governance, to wit if it were such as we heard say that it was.
"Oh, yes; I knows yo' nice little pictures! with a narrow black ban', jes' about the size ob a sheet of mo'nin' paper! No, thank you, missy, no black-bordered envelopes hanging on my wall! Give me good reds and yallers and blues; the kind you can hear with yo' eyes shut. That is, ef yo' don't mind, missy. Ef yo' does, I'll take 'em all right slam-bang down." "No, no, Mancy; it's all right.
"Yes; but, papa, you know we estimated in the beginning, and these old bills come up to about twice as much as our estimate." "That's a fact, baby, they do," said Mr. Fairfield, looking over the statements with a more serious air. "These are pretty big figures to represent a month's living for just you and me and our small retinue of servants." "Yes; and, papa, I think Mancy is rather wasteful.
