She was quite broken and really ill with neuralgia and exhaustion, unable to attend the funeral, which the Merrifields wished to have at Stokesley, and unfit for anything but lying still with the pink parrot on the rail below, kindly watched over by good Marilda.
Even when she was going to get the boudoir done with apple-green picked out with mauve, enough to set one's teeth on edge, and Marilda would do nothing but laugh, she let me persuade her into a lovely pale sea-green. 'Is not sea-green too delicate for her? asked Cherry. 'Why, it was very wicked of Edgar, to be sure, but he said that it was to suit the nymph reining in the porpoises.
'Fancy, Wilmet, I have quite been preparing Marilda for her Confirmation. She had hardly been taught anything, and never could have answered the questions if she had not come to me. She is always asking me what Papa said about this and that; and it is quite awkward, she will carry out everything so literally, poor dear girl. 'She must be very good. 'Oh! to be sure she is!
Let us all come out of this place. And it was he who took off his sister's ironing apron as they went up to the dining-room together, while Marilda cried eagerly, 'Well, Edgar? 'Well, said Edgar, not in the enchanted voice she expected; 'it is very good of your father, and what must be must.
Some one brought water, but it was of no use there were still the labouring gasps, and the convulsive motion. "Let us take her home," Marilda said. "Nothing but hysterics!" repeated the aunt. "I will stay with Jackie."

'She must be! ejaculated Wilmet; 'but surely she ought not to like laughing at her mother. 'Oh, everybody laughs at Aunt Mary, and she hardly ever finds it out, and when she does, she does not mind! Even old Mrs. Kedge, her mother, does nothing but laugh at her for trying to be fine.

Indeed, such a party was insisted on by Marilda, one that was to include all the little ones, and make them happier than ever they had been in their lives. It was to be on Twelfth Day, but Mrs.

'You don't know how glad I was to have an answer that would hinder the horrid commotion we should have had if Marilda had taken to fasting. And, after all, you know, Papa would have said minding her mother was her first duty. 'Why did not you tell her that? 'I have, dozens of times; but you know there are mothers and mothers, and nobody can always mind Aunt Mary, good soul!
