And in the picture were two things which it pleased her most to look at and remember Miss Munnion's face when she had kissed her at the gate, and Moore's when he thanked her for fetching the "stuff for the little un," these always stood out clearly, even when the background of Paradise Court became dim and indistinct. Neither were her godmother's parting words and her proverb forgotten.
Iris ran up to her with the eager question, "Is there one for me?" on her lips; but when she saw Miss Munnion's face she checked herself. For the frozen little countenance had thawed, the features worked and twisted about strangely, and the dull eyes were full of tears. "What's the matter?" said Iris bluntly.
Iris had no longer any completely idle days, for she soon found that her godmother expected her in some measure to fill Miss Munnion's place; she must be ready at Mrs Fotheringham's beck and call, to read to her, drive with her, and walk with her in the garden. They were none of them difficult duties, and could not in any sense be called hard work.
"Many waters cannot quench love," and its flame still burned bright and clear in Miss Munnion's heart. "Although she really is very silly," thought Iris, as they turned back together towards the house, "there's something I like about her after all. She's much nicer than my godmother."
So Moore's baby was a forbidden subject now as well as Miss Munnion's sister, Diana. It was a new thing to Iris to keep silence about what was passing in her mind, and a hundred times in the day she was on the very edge of some indiscreet remark. She managed to check herself before it came out, but it was really very difficult and tiresome.
