And poor Bee drew back quite distressed, and puzzled again by Rosy's changeableness. "And show me any courtly gem more beautiful than these." "Your little girl is very pretty, unusually pretty," Mr. Furnivale was saying to Rosy's mother, as he sat beside her on the sofa during the few minutes they were waiting for luncheon, "and she looks so strong and well." "Yes," said Mrs.
She must be told of the beauties and dimensions of Stornham, all relatable details of Rosy's life must be generously dwelt on. Above all Rosy must be made to write letters, and with an air of freedom however specious. A knock on the door broke the thread of her reflection. It was a low-sounding knock, and she answered the summons herself, because she thought it might be Rosy's.
She had told Colin about Beata coming, but not Felix, for as he knew and loved the little girl already, she was afraid that his delight might rouse Rosy's jealous feelings. For the prettiest thing in Rosy was her love for her little brother, only it was often spoilt by her exactingness. Fixie must love her as much or better than anybody he must be all hers, or else she would not love him at all.
So Rosy's face, though grave, had a nice look the first time Beata saw it, and the first words she said as they kissed each other were, "O Rosy, how pretty you are! I shall love you very much." "'Twere most ungrateful." Beata was not pretty. That was the first thing Rosy decided about her. She was small, and rather brown and thin.
"Master Fixie," Martha wrote, "knew nothing of Miss Rosy's necklace." He could not remember having had it to play with at all, and he seemed to get so worried when she kept on asking about it, that Martha thought it better to say no more, for it was plain he had nothing to tell. "It is very strange he cannot remember playing with it that afternoon," said Mrs. Vincent.
She almost wished she was going with them, for though she had done her best to be patient and cheerful, nothing was the same as before the coming of Rosy's aunt. Rosy scarcely seemed to care to play with her at all. Her whole time, when not at her lessons, was spent in her aunt's room, generally with Nelson, who was never tired of amusing her and giving in to all her fancies.
Three cheers, boys, for the Captain and company. And as he started them himself, the boys did give 'em, too. 'Captain, you'll not be forgotten be easy on that point. And I was easy, until a fit of sickness that I got put my fortune for the time out of Rosy's hands. The men never forgot that trip.
The thing which was hardest upon her was her knowledge of her own strength of what she might have allowed herself of flaming words and instant action but for the memory of Rosy's ghastly little face, as it had looked when she cried out, "You must not think of me. Betty, go home go home!"
Knowing what the caress meant, and seeing Rosy's face as she submitted to it, Betty felt rather cold. After the conjugal greeting he turned to Ughtred. "You look remarkably well," he said. Betty came forward. "We met in the park, Rosy," she explained. "We have been talking to each other for half an hour."
The next thing was to strike a match and light two candles. The room looked very peaceful, just as it had been deserted by the family a few hours before; Rosy's work basket with the work overflowing it, the books and papers on the table where the gentleman had been sitting; the chairs standing where they had been last used.
