Norman considered. "Well, I really can't say. Judging by her inches, I should say about Rosie's age. But she is wise enough and old-fashioned enough to be Rosie's grandmother. She's a queer little thing." "Tell us more," said Rose; "do you go to see her often?" "As often as I can. She is very quiet; she was the only girl among the eight, and a womanly little thing even then.
"Harry," said Graeme, "I think you are forgetting what is due to your sister. You should be the last person to couple Rose's name with that of any gentleman." "Of course, it is only among ourselves; and, I tell you, Graeme, you are spoiling Rosie " "Harry! be quiet. I don't choose to listen to you on that subject." "I declare, Harry, you are getting morbid on the subject of Rosie's conquests.
Rosie's love for the rich man's gold I fear was more powerful than her love for me, a poor artist, and so she threw back the ruby ring and my mother's cameo, and crushed my heart and hopes. In accepting the kind invitation of your brother to accompany your family on this trip, I hoped that the journey might heal my suffering soul."
I thought it was Rosie's dog." "It is not exactly for hurting the baby," he said; "if you had done that by accident, I should never think of punishing you for it: but for the fury of passion that betrayed you into doing it, I must punish you very severely.
He got no answer. "I'd a little rather it had been Graeme, but Rosie would be a sight better than neither of them." "I'm by no means sure of that," said Mrs Snow, sharply. "Rosie's no' a good bairn just now, and I'm no' weel pleased with her." "Don't be hard on Rosie," said Mr Snow, gently. "Hard on her! You ought to have more sense by this time.
Coom, do coom," she urged in a frenzy of eagerness. "What's the trouble?" Dr. Carey asked. "Coom. I show you. I 'fraid the man coom back and finish heem. Don't make no noise, but coom." Rosie was clutching hard at Dr. Carey's arm as she whispered. "That sounds surprising, but life is full of surprises," the doctor thought as he took up his medicine case and followed Rosie's lead.
"Charlie, man! you are making much ado about nothing; and, Graeme, you are as bad. Of course, Rosie's name was not mentioned; but I know quite well, and so do you, who `La belle Canadienne' was. But no harm was meant, and none was done." "It would be rather a good joke if Rosie were to rule in the `Palatial Residence' after all, wouldn't it?" said Arthur, laughing. "Arthur, don't!

The two culprits sat up very straight and made a frantic show of figuring on their slates. For Jessie had reported no letter that morning, and who knew what might happen? The teacher arose frowning, and Rosie made a desperate dive towards the truant books, but Miss Hillary stopped her.
Servants are always vile, spiteful creatures, and will act after their kind. Good-night, my girl," and with that she went downstairs. Fan sat there for half an hour longer in the grateful twilight and warmth of that luxurious room, and then Rosie's voice startled her crying at the door: "Doggie! doggie! come and have its supper."
So here we are; and I see you have news to impart," she added with a smiling glance at a letter in Rosie's hand. "Yes, mamma," returned the young girl, smiling and blushing as she spoke. "It is from Will, and incloses a little note from his mother such a nice, kind, affectionate one saying she is glad she is to have a daughter at last, and she wants to make my acquaintance as soon as possible."
