Rosalie felt sure she must follow it, and that here she would find some one to tell her the way. 'Popsey, said a voice from the next room 'little Popsey, is that you? 'Yes, grannie, said the child; 'and I've not spilt a drop not one single drop, grannie. 'What a good, clever little Popsey! said grannie, coming out of the back parlour to take the milk from the child's hands.
'Ay, my dear, said the old woman; 'it's a good long step Popsey, take the milk in to grandfather, he's waiting breakfast it's a good long way to Pendleton, my dear, maybe fourteen or fifteen miles. 'Oh dear! that sounds a very long way! said Rosalie. 'Who wants to go there, my dear? asked the old woman. 'I want to go, said Rosalie sorrowfully. 'You want to go, child?
It was a very cosy little party, and they all enjoyed themselves very much. Rosalie thought she had never tasted such good cakes, nor drunk such delicious coffee. Popsey was delighted with the kitten, and wanted to give all her breakfast to it. When breakfast was over, Popsey got down from her high chair and went to a chest of drawers, which stood in a corner near the fireplace.
Rosalie followed her example and did the same. Popsey had seated herself on a wooden stool at her grandfather's feet. Then there was a pause, in which the old man took an extra pair of spectacles from a leathern case, fixed them on his nose, and turned over the leaves of his Bible. And then, when he had found his place, he began to read a psalm.
Keith continued his cross-examination. "Vaktmästare" said Johan indifferently. "So is mine," Keith cried eagerly. "Have you got a bank, too?" Johan shook his head as if unable to grasp what Keith meant. "My popsey works in the office down there," he said, "and we live beside it, and at night I go with popsey when he carries all the mail to the postoffice."
I haven't had time to say a word to you or Popsey Wayne the entire evening. But you'll excuse me, won't you? I've had to be civil to them all do you see? and do them up well. I knew you wouldn't mind. I wanted you to have a good time, but I'm afraid you haven't." "Oh yes," Miriam said, disengaging herself from the girl's embrace. "It's been wonderful it really has.
"It is my mamma," Keith retorted, his attention momentarily diverted by Johan's most peculiar way of referring to his parents. "Then you had better go," advised the new friend sagely, "or she will tell your popsey, and then you know what happens to you." "I think I can come down again, if you wait for me," cried Keith as he ran into the long dark passageway.
All the way to Pendleton, May was proposing different things: a book, a work-box, a writing-case, etc; but at the mention of all these Rosalie shook her head. 'Popsey was too small for any of these, she said; 'she could not read, nor sew, nor write. So then May proposed a doll, and Rosalie thought that was a very good idea.
It was a very old-fashioned chest of drawers, and on the top of it were arranged some equally old-fashioned books. In the middle of these was a large well-worn family Bible. Popsey put a chair against the chest of drawers, and, standing on tiptoe on it, brought down the Bible from its place.
The fireirons shone like silver, and everything in the room was as neat and clean and bright as it was possible for them to be. Popsey was sitting on a high chair between the old man and woman, and the pitcher of milk was just in front of her; she had been pouring some of it into her grandfather's coffee. The old man was very attentive to Rosalie, and wanted her to eat of everything on the table.
