When I get my pony I'll be all right any way; and on Saturdays, or odd half-holidays there always are odd half-holidays at every school, you know I'll take you girls out a drive in that funny little donkey-chaise, or whatever it is, that's standing in the coach-house. 'I don't fancy there are many places to drive to, Rosalys replied.
One day, about a week after Miss Neale had begun to teach the children, just as they were finishing lessons, Rosalys made her appearance in the schoolroom. It was one of the days on which Miss Neale and Celestina came back in the afternoon to take the girls a walk and to stay to tea afterwards. Rosalys looked pleased and eager. 'Celestina, she said, 'mamma has a little message for you.
And Rough is a great comfort, even though he has to be away and you know, Alie, she went on quite gravely, 'I don't think there could have been another as good as papa, not in the same way: he's just nearly an angel. Alie did not disagree. 'And Roughie will be home before your next birthday, you know. 'I hope so indeed, said Rosalys.
Vane and Rosalys, for they were running towards the sea, whereas the others were walking straight along the shore. But the dog's bark and the sound once or twice of the child's voice speaking to him came clearly through the still winter air. Mrs. Vane stopped for a moment and looked after them. She and Alie had been talking about Bridget as they walked.
She's coming here to tea two times every week if it's fine, so I think they might 'avite me sometimes, and when I said to her just now I'd like to come, she looked quite funny and only said she'd ask her mother. Not a bit as if she'd like it. Rosalys felt very vexed. 'Really, Biddy, you might know how to behave, she said. 'People don't offer themselves to other people like that.
'Just at the moment, Miss Smithson continued, 'dear Rosalys is engaged, but I hope she will be down directly. We are very, very busy. Are you making a long stay in London, Mrs. Stanway? The season is now in full swing, is it not? Leonora could find little to say to this experienced spinster, whom she unwillingly admired but with whom she was not in accord.
I feel sure, however, that young as she was she would have sympathised with her mother, and tried 'extra' hard not to vex her, had she known more about it all. But very little had been explained to her; indeed, Rosalys had been forbidden to say much about the reasons for the change to her little sister. 'She is such a baby for her age, and so heedless, said Mrs. Vane.
'Alie has been quietly waiting in the shop for me as I told her. Alie came forward as she spoke. 'And Celestina is not in this morning, said Mrs. Fairchild. 'She had a headache, so I have sent her out a walk. Thus all Biddy's temper and jealousy had been thrown away. She felt rather foolish as she followed her mother and Rosalys down the street.
'That is Redding, the organist, said Rough. 'He's something else as well a tailor or a draper "A butcher, a baker, or candlestick-maker," interrupted Rosalys laughingly. She did not mean to make fun of good Mr. Redding, but she wanted to make the others laugh too, to restore their good humour. 'Well, something, any way, Randolph went on.
'Oh, Bridget, she exclaimed in a tone of vexation, 'what have you been doing to yourself? Do you see, Alie? Her skirt is torn from top to bottom the stuff torn, not the seam. And so dirty. Your new frock too really, child, you are too provoking. Biddy's round rosy face grew longer and redder, and her eyes filled with tears. She opened her mouth to speak, but Rosalys came before her.
