Miss Mainwaring, Miss Jasmine and Miss Daisy Mainwaring Mrs. Mortlock, Mrs. Dredge, Miss Slowcum. Young ladies, will you seat yourselves at the table?" Mrs. Flint moved to her place at the head of the board; the three girls dropped into seats, and were stared broadly at by Miss Slowcum and Mrs. Mortlock. Mrs.
Poppy, which means a tare, I am, to my own dear young ladies. Oh dear! oh dear! they're calling me it's Sarah Matilda this time. Good-bye until to-morrow, dear Miss Primrose." When Primrose went home and told her sisters and Miss Egerton what she had done, Jasmine's eyes had grown first bright, and then misty. "To be continual reader to Mrs. Mortlock!" she exclaimed.
Mortlock, "you will have to come down in your prices after that, Mrs. Flint. Ha, ha! your question was a very leading one, Miss Jasmine Mainwaring." Poor Jasmine began to feel quite alarmed, and instantly resolved not to open her lips again during tea. The meal proceeded, and very dull it was; nor was the fare appetizing, for the tea was weak and the bread was stale.
Mortlock put her foot in it as far as Miss Slowcum was concerned, for she said 'I'm sorry the girls from the country have departed, and that they found us so disagreeable that they had to do it unbeknown and quiet, for it was a real pleasure for ancient females like ourselves to have young and bonny creatures about us.
Mortlock is looking out for what she is pleased to call a 'continual reader, dear, and what I'm thinking is that perhaps you or your sister would like to try for the post I believe you'd suit her fine, and she can pay well, for she's fairly made of money." Primrose colored. To read to Mrs.
"Try to arrange it so, then, Jasmine," said Primrose; "for I do not feel happy about her being left." Primrose went away to spend her day as usual with Mrs. Mortlock, and sat down to her "continual reading" with a heavy heart. Mrs. Mortlock was losing her sight rapidly cataract was forming on her eyes, and she could now only dimly see the face and form of her young companion.
After another vain search, this time for Saint Augustine's Island, he sighted the Cora of Los Vaherites, also called Seven, or Raven Island, discovered in 1773 by the Spaniard Felipe Tompson. The navigator next saw the Mortlock Archipelago, the old Lugunor group, known to Torrés as the Lugullos, the people of which resemble those of Ualan.
She had listened to their bewildered and agitated little story, and then asking them to sit down and wait for her, she had returned to the parlor. "Mrs. Flint," she said, "I have been talking to the two elder Mainwaring girls; they are in the hall. No, Mrs. Mortlock, you can't see Miss Primrose at present.
It is almost a year since you began to try, and you have made, I fear, but small headway. You, Primrose, have done best, and have made fewer mistakes than your sisters, but even you would not care to spend all your life in continual reading to Mrs. Mortlock. Jasmine can only earn a precarious and uncertain living by dressing dinner-tables.
Just at this moment, while poor Primrose was trying to train her unwilling voice, the door was opened, and Poppy, red in the face, and with her best hat and jacket on, came in. "Miss Primrose, I'm come to say good-bye, I am. No, Mrs. Mortlock, when about to quit I don't fear you no longer not all the Sarahs in Europe would have power over me now. I'm going.
