Bill delivered himself of a deep sigh, and observed, 'Well! if she's done for, I suppose I must take up with you; and after all, you're the jolliest. 'I shall never be jolie, like Wilmet, if that's what you mean, said Robina, not quite understanding whether it were jest or earnest. 'Well, if you ain't a regular stunner like her, it doesn't much matter.
'You've never been and made up to Wilmet! said Lance, as if this instance of valour crowned his merits. 'Yes, I have; and she will. You see there ain't another gentleman out of the family except the old Froggy, and the little one has got him. Well, I always wished beyond anything to dance with Miss Underwood! 'Did you? said Robina. 'I never should have thought of that.
I could not see her face, but I knew there was the look upon it that made Primgate want to paint her as Joan of Arc; only it would never stop long enough. "I'd love him for talking like that. And I'd respect him. If he was that sort of man I'd pray God to help me to be the sort of woman he wanted me to be. I'd try. I'd try all day long. I would!" "I wonder," I said. Robina had surprised me.
Leonard somewhat coldly, 'that Miss Robina is in any better position than myself to speak with authority on the views of the Almighty' which I felt was true. 'If it makes no difference to the Almighty, then why not, for my sake, trousers? "'The essential thing, he persisted, 'is a contrite heart. He was getting very cross. "'It may just as well be dressed respectably, was his wife's opinion.
"Something of the sort," admitted Robina; "only there was a lot of it. We had to all fuss round her, and swear that without her it wouldn't be worth calling a picnic. She brightened up on the way home." The screech-owl in the yew-tree emitted a blood-curdling scream. He perches there each evening on the extreme end of the longest bough.
I do not wish to press the point offensively, but really it would almost seem that it must be you three you, my dear parent, upon whom will fall the bill for repairs; Dick, apt to attach too much importance, maybe, to his victuals, and who for the next few days will be compelled to exist chiefly upon tinned goods; Robina, by nature of a worrying disposition, certain till things get straight again to be next door to off her head who must, by reason of conduct into which I do not enquire, have merited chastisement at the hands of Providence.
Here it was, devising and bequeathing his whole property, real and personal, exclusive only of certain legacies of small account, to Richard Lestrange, formerly known as Richard Tuke, reputed son of John and Jane Tuke, born Armour, but in reality sole son of Wilton Arthur Lestrange, of Mortgrange and Cinqmer, Baronet, and Robina Armour his wife, daughter of Simon Armour, Blacksmith, born in lawful wedlock in the house of Mortgrange, in the year 18 ! and so worded, at the request of sir Wilton, that even should the law declare him supposititious, the property must yet be his!
Very annoying, this stove business." "What is the use of his being there without you?" Ethelbertha wanted to know. "Oh, he'll potter round," I suggested, "and take measurements. Dick will be about to explain things to him. Or, if he isn't, there's Robina awkward thing is, Robina seems to have taken a dislike to him." "Why has she taken a dislike to him?" asked Ethelbertha.
"Well, it was her fault, anyhow," retorted Robina; "and I didn't make a virtue of it. I told her I'd just as soon not go, and that I felt sure the others would be all right without her, so that there was no need for her to be dragged anywhere. And then she burst into tears."
"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.
