Indeed, the meal of this less distinguished party was much more mirthful than that in the higher circle, where there was an obvious air of constraint on the greater part of the assistants. Julia dared not raise her voice in asking Bertram if he chose another cup of tea. Bertram felt embarrassed while eating his toast-and-butter under the eye of Mannering.
In the meantime Hannah brought up the tea-things and toast-and-butter, and set all things in order upon the round table. "'You are very good, said little Marten to Mrs. Lovel; 'I will come and see you every day. "'You shall come as often as you please, said Mrs. Lovel, 'if you are a good little boy. "'Then I will come at breakfast-time, and at dinner-time, and at supper-time, said Marten.
The door of the house was open a little way, and Marten peeped in: he saw within a small neat kitchen, where was a bright fire; an elderly maid-servant was preparing breakfast before the fire; the tea-kettle was boiling; and the toast-and-butter and muffins stood ready to be carried into the parlour.
A large old cat slept before the fire; and in one corner of the kitchen was a parrot upon a stand. "Whilst Marten was peeping in, and longing for a bit of toast-and-butter, a little old lady, dressed in a gray silk gown, wearing a mob-cap and long ruffles, came into the kitchen by the inner door. "'Hannah, why do you leave the door open?
I could not help watching the movements of this redoubtable old Hero, who, I'll warrant, has been the champion and safeguard of half the garrison towns in England, and fancying to myself how Bonaparte would have delighted in having such toast-and-butter generals to deal with.
