He told her of Daisy when he could trust himself to talk at all, of Julia's sickness and death, and Miss Frances felt her heart go out as it had never gone before toward the woman about whom little Daisy talked constantly. "Most bootiful lady," she said, "an' looked des like an 'ittle dirl, see was so short, an' her eyes were so hue an' her hair so turly."
Turly got tired struggling with it, and began to kick the door and to call. They listened, and could not hear anybody coming. Everything was exactly as before. "It's very high up," said Tarry, "and the door is so thick." "Perhaps we could get out of the window," said Turly. But the window was perched up on the roof, and there was no balcony.
At last, after a period that seemed to them a whole day long, Turly turned his head and gave a wild shout of triumph. "Hurrah!" he cried; "here's my continent." Terry looked round, and there, truly, was land on the other side of them to which their backs had been turned while they were straining their eyes towards home. "It's an island," said Terry. "Nurse often said there were islands out here.
He doesn't want four legs to sit with. Dancing was different. Now, Vulcan, hold yourself straight, old fellow! There, doesn't the dress fit him nicely, at least when I turn up the sleeves over his paws and tie an apron round his body to make him a waist? Dear old Nursey hasn't got much of a waist neither; now, has she, Turly? Vulcan, Vulcan, let me tie your cap-strings!"
"I would rather have quite a new island. If it wasn't it wouldn't be discovering, you know." "I want a new continent," said Turly. "If I discover anything it must be a continent; islands are not up to much." "But there are no more continents to discover, Turly." "So they said before America," said Turly. "But nothing more is on the map; Miss Goodchild says so."
"God forbid, madam!" said Lally. "You have had a long, cold journey to-day. Have you had a good supper, Lally?" "Sorra bit could I ate, madam, till I had a word with yourself. But anyhow I'll go and ate it now." Terry and Turly were snugly lodged on the same flat with Granny's bedroom and sitting-room.
My wagons are running away, and I must run after them." In this manner the practising got finished, and the children hastened to restore the furniture to its usual state in the room before the appearance of Nurse Nancy, who might now be expected to look in at any moment. Two or three times Turly had tried to remove his helmet, but had failed, and so it was left on his head till all was in order.
And little Turly, that would ha' been content to stay here peaceable if she would ha' let him alone! Sure it's often I say to myself that it's Terry ought to have been the boy." "The same idea has occurred to me, Nancy. Not that we ought to criticise the arrangements of Providence." "Well, madam," said Nurse Nancy, "I don't agree that Providence has anything to do with it.
"Nursey had an awful time with us!" said Terry, shaking her head. "And oh, Mother," cried Turly, "if we are going to have lessons, will you have Nonie over from the island to teach us Irish?" "What island?" asked Granny. "And who is Nonie?"
Turly, Turly, look about for Nurse's spectacles. Oh, there they are on the chimney-piece! Take them out of the case quick, and give them to me." The next minute Vulcan's patience met with its severest trial, when Terry insisted on adjusting the spectacles on his eyes and nose regardless of his growls of remonstrance.
