Franklin Blake dropped one of his rings up-stairs," says Rosanna; "and I have been into the library to give it to him." The girl's face was all in a flush as she made me that answer; and she walked away with a toss of her head and a look of self-importance which I was quite at a loss to account for.
"Minnie will not be allowed to see you. Minnie has been discharged. She is untrustworthy, and I would have sent her packing to-night, but she insisted on her right to stay under this roof until morning. So she is in her room where I have ordered her to remain." "Can't I see her again ever, grandmother?" asked Rosanna, with trembling lips. "Certainly not!" said Mrs. Horton.
Rosanna Moore was pretty, and was evidently one of those women who rakes at heart prefer the untrammelled freedom of being a mistress, to the sedate bondage of a wife. In questions of morality, so many people live in glass houses, that there are few nowadays who can afford to throw stones. Calton did not think any the worse of Frettlby for his youthful follies.
I looked at Betteredge. "In the name of Heaven," I said, "what does it mean?" He seemed to shrink from answering the question. "You and Limping Lucy were alone together this morning, sir," he said. "Did she say nothing about Rosanna Spearman?" "She never even mentioned Rosanna Spearman's name." "Please to go back to the letter, Mr. Franklin.
I was neither a Joseph nor a St. Anthony, and I was delighted with Bohemia, with its good fellowship and charming suppers, which took place in the small hours of the morning, when wit and humour reigned supreme. It was at one of these suppers that I first met Rosanna Moore, the woman who was destined to curse my existence.
"Helen and I are hoping that we can go to college together," said Rosanna. "Rosanna is so dear," said Helen. "She wants to help me save, but of course that won't do." "I don't see why not," said Rosanna. They had talked this over many times. "Do you see, Mrs. Hargrave? I never spend my allowance." "No," said Mrs. Hargrave, "it wouldn't do at all.
I won't forget what you have told me. I'll take the first opportunity of making it right with Rosanna Spearman." "You haven't said anything to her yet about last night, have you?" Mr. Franklin asked. "No, sir." "Then say nothing now. I had better not invite the girl's confidence, with the Sergeant on the look-out to surprise us together. My conduct is not very consistent, Betteredge is it?
Do you mind if Minnie kisses you good-night, dearie?" she asked softly. Rosanna sleepily held up her arms. "Oh, I wish you would, Minnie! It is so nice to have somebody want to kiss me without my asking them to do it." Minnie kissed her tenderly. "Bless you, dearie, old Minnie will kiss you good-night every night!" She turned out the light and snapped on the electric fan.
It was impossible, he said, that he could be in any way responsible for the calamity, which had shocked us all, for this sufficient reason, that his success in bringing his inquiry to its proper end depended on his neither saying nor doing anything that could alarm Rosanna Spearman. He appealed to me to testify whether he had, or had not, carried that object out.
Helen said that was the rule in domestic science school, so although they were both tired with their labors and Rosanna wished in her heart that she could tell Minnie to clean up as she usually did whenever a mess was made, they stuck to their task and it did not take very long to finish the work and make the kitchen all spick and span.
