'Ferrets, repeated Mrs. Caryll, 'have they got ferrets? 'Yes, Rosamond replied. 'I've not seen them, but I know they've got them. And they don't keep them at Moor Edge, because Mrs. Hervey doesn't like them. It isn't tell-taleing of me to have told you about them, is it, auntie? she asked anxiously. Mrs. Caryll felt distressed at the little girl's rather troubled tone.
I don't like his trying to stop little Rosamond's innocent chatter it is a pity to put it into a child's head that there can be such a thing as "tell-taleing" when children are simple and obedient. 'Yes, said her husband, 'I agree with you. I will think it over, and perhaps I may manage to have some talk with Justin one of these days.
And what's more, he added, with some indignation in his voice, 'it'll be time enough for you to speak to me like that when you do find me tell-taleing. 'Yes, chimed in peace-loving Archie, who was struck by Pat's unusual gentleness, 'I think so too, Jus.
And we hate tell-taleing; girls don't think of it the same way. 'I do, said Rosamond, flushing a little. 'If you think I'd be a tell-tale I'd rather not go with you. 'Oh nonsense, said Archie. 'I'm sure Jus can't think that. Anybody can see you're not that sort of a girl.
But I warn you, if you come with us, I won't have any sneaking or tell-taleing about anything we do. Pat opened his eyes they were large dark eyes with a rather sad expression, quite unlike any of his brothers' with a look of great surprise. 'What on earth could there be for me to tell-tale about, he said, 'in just going to look at Tom Brick's ferrets?
Justin and Pat call it "tell-taleing," so I thought I just wouldn't talk about them unless they did anything naughty, and even then I wouldn't have told without telling them I was going to tell, though I'm sure they wouldn't do anything naughty, not Pat and Archie, anyway. And I really don't see much of Jus he doesn't care for stories, and he goes off with Bob and the ferrets.
And in her own mind Miss Mouse decided that once she was sure poor Bob was safe, she would tell Aunt Mattie 'all about it. 'I don't think that would be a wrong kind of tell-taleing, she decided. 'It wouldn't be right not to tell, for Justin shouldn't have risked poor Bob's getting into trouble. I'll tell auntie everything, and then she'll know how to do without making Justin angry with Bob.
'Oh no, Miss Mouse replied, for she had no thought of concealment or deception, beyond her wish not to chatter about the Hervey children's affairs unnecessarily what Justin called 'tell-taleing' 'oh no, auntie. I think it's the third time we've been there. The boys often go old Nance is very good and kind, and she tells us such pretty stories. Mrs. Caryll felt a little perplexed.
