If Rosy's half happy, half tearful excitement had left her the leisure to reflect on his expression, she would not have felt it encouraging. "What a deuce of a row Americans make," he said even before they were out of hearing of the voices. "It will be a positive rest to be in a country where the women do not cackle and shriek with laughter."
And when Lady Esther had been, and had had her talk with Rosy's mother, she looked in at the schoolroom a moment in passing, and kissed the little girls, smiling, and seeming very pleased, for she was so kind that nothing pleased her so much as to give pleasure to others. "Your mother will tell you what we have been settling," she said, nodding her head and looking very mysterious.
"Samantha, I know well your knowledge of sickness and your powers of takin' care of the sick. Do come and help me take care of Ralph, for it seems as if I can't let him go. Poor boy, he has worked so hard, and now I wuz in hopes that he wuz goin' to take some comfort in life, unbeknown to him. Do come and help him for my sake, and for Rosy's sake."
And many an hour the children amused themselves with the lovely beads, examining them till they knew every one separately. They even, I believe, had a name for each, and Fixie had a firm belief that inside each crystal ball a little fairy dwelt, and that every moonlight night all these fairies came out and danced about Rosy's room, though he never could manage to keep awake to see them.
"Dear, dear," said Martha, "if people would but think what they're doing when they spoil children! Poor Miss Rosy, but she is naughty! Has it hurt you, Master Colin?" "No," said Colin, one of whose eyes nevertheless was crying from Rosy's blow, "not much. But it's so horrid, going on like this."
For there lay Rosy's necklace, as bright and pretty as ever, and there beside it lay another, just like it at the first glance, though, when it was closely examined, one could see that the patterns on the beads were different; but any way it was just as pretty. "Two," exclaimed Fixie, "two lace-beads, what is the name? Has the mouses made a new one for Bee, dear Bee?"
Many mothers would have refused to answer would have said it was not Rosy's place to begin asking questions instead of begging to be forgiven for their naughty conduct; but Rosy's mother was different from many.
Then a gray-haired gentleman, whom Rosy, peeping through a side window, did not waste her attention on "He is quite old," she said to herself got out, and lifted down a much smaller person smaller than Rosy herself, and a good deal smaller than the Beata of Rosy's fancies.
"Why, you are looking quite bright again, my child!" she went on when she looked up at the little figure waiting patiently beside her. "I'm very glad to go out with you," said Bee simply. "And I'm very glad to have you," said Mrs. Vincent. "Aunt Lillias," said Bee, her voice trembling a little, "may I ask you one thing? You don't think I touched Rosy's necklace?" Mrs. Vincent smiled.
I think it would be fun to sleep in Bee's room. I shouldn't mind." Nelson grunted. She did not approve of Rosy's liking Beata. "Ah, well," she said, "it isn't only your Aunt Edith that's afraid of infection. If it's measles that Master Fixie's got, you won't go to Lady Esther's party, Miss Rosy." Rosy opened her eyes.
