"I borrowed it from Paulie, and I'd have given it to her long ere this, but I heard she was away." "Give it to me," cried Penelope. Her voice quite shook in her eagerness. "Give it to me at once, and I will take it back to her." "I wish you would, Pen, I am sure; but you must be very careful not to lose it, for it is a real beauty. See, I will put it into this little box, and cover the box up."
Pauline could not suppress a short scream, and the next minute she felt herself turning very faint and sick, for Penelope had laid her exceedingly hard little hand on Pauline's burnt arm. "What is it, Paulie? I know you are not well," said Verena, running up. "It is 'cos of her bad conscience," said Penelope, turning away with a snort of indignation.
To have no kingdom and no crown and no presents and no love, and to be bitterly disgraced as well! How will you like it, Paulie?" "I know that you can do all that you say," answered Pauline. "I know you can be dreadful, and everything is against me. You can ruin me if you like, but I want you not to do it, Nancy."
"I have burned my arm badly, and Aunt Sophia must not know." "You have burnt your arm? How?" "I would rather not tell." "But why should you conceal it, Paulie?" "I'd rather conceal it; please don't ask me. All I want you to do is to ask me no questions, but to help me to get my arm well; the pain is almost past bearing. But, Renny, whatever happens, Aunt Sophia must not know."
"You are fearfully mysterious," said Verena, who looked much alarmed. "You used not to be like this, Paulie. You were always very open, and you and I shared every thought Well, come into the house. Of course, whatever happens, I will help you; but I think you ought to tell me the whole truth." "I can't, so there!
Penelope fixed her exceedingly sharp eyes on her sister's face. "You did find it; you know you did. Where is it? Give it to me. I want my penny. Think of all the fun you are going to have. She doesn't mean me to ride, 'cos I asked her. I must have my penny. Give me the thimble at once, Paulie." "I haven't got it. Don't talk nonsense, child. Let me go. Oh! you have hurt me."
Dad has shut up the house already. Come, Paulie; come, Amy; come, Becky." The four girls ran upstairs, but as they were going down the passage which led to their pretty bedroom, Pauline's pain was so great that she stumbled against Becky and nearly fell. "What is it?" said Becky. "Are you faint?" She put her arm around the little girl and helped her into the bedroom.
Accordingly the two walked quickly through the Forest path. But before they reached the wicket-gate the first mutterings of thunder were audible, and heavy drops of rain were falling. "I must leave you now, Paulie," said Nancy, "for if I go any farther I'll be drenched to the skin. Climb up your tree, get into your bedroom, and go to bed.
"We are not going to be cross," said Verena, kissing him. "It is only your Renny." "And your Paulie," said the second girl. "And your Rose Briar," said the third. "And your Patty," said the fourth. "And your Lucy," "And your Josephine," "And your Helen," "And your Adelaide," said four more vigorous pairs of lips. "And we all want you to stand up," said Verena. "Good heavens!
Pauline now very gently opened the door of the room where her two little sisters slept. They were not asleep; they were sitting up in their beds waiting for her. "We thought you would come, Paulie," said Briar. "We are so excited! What is it you want us to do for you, darling Paulie?" "To save me! To save me!" said Pauline. Her tone was dramatic; her action was more so.
