"I have, ten minutes ago. She sent the message to you." "Tatty was heroic" Ruth paused on the reminiscence with a smile " and, if you will believe me, quite waspish when I told her so." "You should have refused to come. You might have known that I was drunk, or I could never have sent." "How does it go?"
"Yes, dear" Miss Quiney launched an approving nod towards her "I was about to suggest it, with Sir Oliver's leave. The hour is late, and by the time the sedan-chair returns for me " "There is no reason, Tatty, why we should not return together," said Ruth quietly. "The night is fine; and, with Manasseh for escort, I can walk beside your chair." "Pardon me, ladies," put in Mr. Silk.
Towards the end she felt a strange longing to have her mother near, close at hand, for her lying-in. The poor silly soul could not travel alone. . . .

Then a broom in the corner of the room said, "Stool, why do you hop?" "Oh!" said the stool, "Titty's dead, and Tatty weeps, and so I hop;" "then," said the broom, "I'll sweep," so the broom began to sweep.
"Oh, Tatty!" But Ruth, too, had to pause for a moment to admire. When she turned, Miss Quiney, forgetting her own injunction, had stolen in haste from the room. The girl's eyes moistened. For a moment she saw herself reflected from the glass in a blur.
