I looked again into the kitchen; then I returned and put my hands on Robina's shoulders. "It is a most amusing incident as it has turned out," I said. "It might have turned out rather seriously," thought Robina. "It might," I agreed: "she might be lying upstairs." "She is a wicked, heartless child," said Robina; "she ought to be punished."
I know my guests have not heard the story before, and from one's own flesh and blood one expects a certain amount of sacrifice. But I feel so sorry for the housemaid who is waiting; she must have heard it a dozen times. I really cannot inflict it upon her again. After dinner we pushed the table into a corner, and Dick extracted a sort of waltz from Robina's mandoline.
"Honest Injun confound those children and their slang I mean positively," I answered. The Little Mother looked relieved. I told her all the trouble we had had in connection with the cow. Her sympathies were chiefly with the cow. I told her I had hopes of Robina's developing into a sensible woman. We talked quite a deal about Robina.
It was, in fact, through her ability to pull wires that Robina had so successfully held him up. She had her hands on the connections of an entire social system. Her superior ramifications were among those whom Mr. Cartaret habitually spoke and thought of as "the best people." And when it came to connections, Robina's were of the very best. Lady Frances was her second cousin.
He wrote to Felix that his sister was new to the management of the girls, and was a good deal annoyed at the secrecy observed towards herself, not making full allowance for Robina's exceptional circumstances; but that, for his own part, he was convinced of the girl's genuine uprightness and unselfish forbearance; and though he feared her position must be unpleasant just now, he thought it would be for the good of all if she had the patience to live it down, and earn the good opinion he was sure she deserved.
