Now, of course, I never really expected to have Tabitha with me all her life: but I did want just for a little while to make-believe, as it were, that I had a daughter, and to feel as if she were happy and content with me. So it was rather hard that such a thing should happen, only the second time that she went out on that hideous machine.
Lady Wicketts and Miss Fosby are staying on at the Manor for a fortnight or three weeks, as the country air does them so much good. It will be very kind if you and Lord Roxmouth will call and see them as often as you can, they are such dear kind people! and I am sure Miss Tabitha will be glad to have them near her as she already likes them so much.
Maybe then he wouldn't have struck me at all. Perhaps if I had said I was sorry and had cleaned up his hat again, he would have waved good-by to me. Perhaps just perhaps he might have kissed me as Carrie's father does. But I suppose it would be too soon to expect kisses." "Tabitha, have you gone to bed?" It was Aunt Maria's voice nervous and shaking. "Not yet. What's the matter?" she asked.
Day after day he labored hard without wasting a moment, except at meal times, when Tabitha summoned him to the pork and cabbage, or such other sustenance as she had picked up, or Providence had sent them.
Later criticism, however, interested in work that marks a revolution in Tuscan painting, has made it plain that certain frescoes here are undoubtedly from his hand, and Mr. Berenson gives him certainly the Fall of Adam, the Raising of Tabitha, and the Miracle at the Golden Gate, above on the right, as well as the Preaching of St. Peter, above to the left on the altar wall.
She begged to go to bed quite half an hour earlier than usual, which made Miss Tabitha afraid again that she was going to be ill. But as there is nothing better for children than to go to bed early, even if they are going to be ill, Miss Grizzel told her to say good-night, and to ask Dorcas to give her a wine-glassful of elderberry wine, nice and hot, after she was in bed.

She was shocked and scandalized to see a gentleman and lady, who were not related to each other, sitting so close together, while the gentleman kissed the lady's hand! "Did you want anything?" inquired Mr. Berners, rather impatiently. "No, I didn't.
"That suits me all right," thought Tabitha, but aloud she merely said, "It makes no difference to me." "Then you may have the bed by the window. As for the chairs, they are exactly alike " "I want this rocker," interrupted Chrystobel again, "the other squeaks, and I can't bear that."
"I don't care where my things are put," said irrepressible Tabitha, "and I'm not trying to be a pig, either, even if I was here first; but I do want what belongs to me by rights!" Miss Pomeroy smiled in the dimness of the stairway, as she replied with emphasis, "I expect all my girls to obey the rules laid down for them, and if they won't do that, then they can't stay here."
The Bishop is a striking man, is he not? 'Yes, rather, said Swithin. 'I think he is much devoted to Lady Constantine, and I am glad of it. Aren't you? 'O yes very, said Swithin, wondering if Tabitha had seen the tender little salutes between Lady Constantine and himself. 'I don't think she cares much for him, added Tabitha judicially.
