Oh, Missy Mara, ef you could ony seen de ole major, you'd a seen a genywine So' Car'liny gen'l'man ob wat dey call de ole school. Reckon dey habn't any betteh schools now.
Besides, this very summer, in Cherryvale, she had seen how for some reason, a visiting girl seems to excite more attention than does a mere home girl. Missy realized that, of course, she wasn't so "fashionable" as was the sophisticated Miss Slade from Macon City who had so agitated Cherryvale, yet she was pleased to try the experience for herself. Moreover, the visit was to be at Uncle Charlie's!
"Our show is something like a pantomime, and yet it's different," replied Aunt Sarah. "Now then, missy, stop talking, for we has no time to waste. Come over here and let me put this nice stuff on your face. It won't hurt you one little bit it's just to make you look a little browner than you do now, you and little master. Now, come along here, and let me do it at once.
Father had heard the great news and bantered her: "So we've got a society queen in our midst!" "I think," put in Aunt Nettie, "that it's disgraceful the way they put children forward these days." "I wouldn't let Missy go if Mrs. Allen wasn't going to be there to look after her," said mother. "Mother, may I have the hem of my pink dress let down?" asked Missy.
They won't let me alone," the girl muttered, and once more waved her hand. "Ach, ach, how shocking! It's shameful, missy, it's a shame!" He shook his head again, shocked, sympathetic and indignant. "It's a difficult job," the policeman said to Raskolnikov, and as he did so, he looked him up and down in a rapid glance.
At last I sprang up to ring the bell; no one answered. I rang again more furiously. At last a slave appeared. "Where's my servant?" "Not here, sar." "Where's all the people of the house?" "All with missy, sar; Mammy Crissobella die." "Run down then to the beach, and desire the surgeon of the brig to come up immediately." "Yes, sar," replied the negro, leaving the room.
She MIGHT be induced to let Missy help give an evening dinner-party, though she held that fifteen-year-old girls should have only afternoon parties; but to be persuaded to lend her own house for the affair that would be an achievement even for Tess! However miracles continue to happen in this cut-and-dried world.
Tommy clapped his hands and danced about, crying, "Fried fish for dinner;" and Juno said, "Have very fine dinner to-day, Missy Caroline." After breakfast they all set out for the grove, where Ready had been cutting down the trees, taking with them the wheels and axle, and a couple of stout ropes.
But Aunt Nettie couldn't refrain from a repetition of the climactic word; "E-priss!" And she actually giggled! At the sound, Missy felt herself growing "deathly mute, even to the lips", but she managed to maintain a mien of intense composure. "What does that mean, Missy?" queried father. He was regarding her kindly, with no hint of hidden amusement.
But not too quickly for them to have recognised the sharp black eyes and rough black hair of the gipsy pedlar. Without replying to Pamela Duke darted off, and, though much against her will, the little girl felt she could not but follow him. Before they had quite reached the spot the head was poked out again. "I've had to wait here for you, master and missy," said the man.
