Tom, what should you say if we were to go away a long way away in the railway?" "I'd say it was vrezy nice," said Tom. "If it was all of us together, of course." "Ah, but if it wasn't all of us what would you say then?" Tom stared at me. "What do you mean, Audrey?" he said. "We always does go all away together, if we go away at all." "Oh yes going to the sea-side and like that.
"Then you don't want to go without him?" said Uncle Geoff. "Oh, of course not," I replied. "Of course I'd not leave Tom when he's ill, and when it was my fault too. Oh, Uncle Geoff, you don't think he's going to be very ill, do you?" Tom looked up very pathetically. "Don't cry, poor Audrey," he said. "My t'roat isn't so vrezy bad." Uncle Geoff was very kind. "No," he said.
"It's not unkinder to Racey than it is to us," he replied. "I'm sure the new nurse will be cross, because I heard Mrs. Partridge say something to Uncle Geoff on the stair to-day about that we should have somebody 'vrezy strict. And I know that means cross." "When did you hear that?" I asked. "'Twas this afternoon. Uncle Geoff hadn't time to come up. He just called out to Mrs.
"Mother has often told me what nice kinds there are in Germany;" and we set to work to arrange them on the plates which I ran down to ask Sarah for, with the greatest pleasure. We were so happy that we felt able to be a little sorry for Mrs. Partridge. "I wonder if she's got a sore t'roat," said Tom. "P'raps she's doin' to die," suggested Racey. "She's so vrezy hold."
I couldn't tell you ezacktly where the letter-box is, though I'm sure I could find it myself. And you're a girl, Audrey, and not so vrezy much bigger than me. And besides, I'm a boy. And oh, Audrey, I do so want to go!" The last reason was the strongest I dare say, and it was honest of Tom to tell it. I stood uncertain what to do.
"Indeed," said Tom, "I can listen if I choose. And when the new nurse comes she won't let you go on like that. She'll be vrezy cross, I know." Racey turned to me, his eyes filled with tears. "Audrey, will the new nurse be like that?" I turned to Tom. "Tom," I said, "why do you say such unkind things to Racey?" Tom nodded his head mysteriously.
"I am sure God would find out some way of making it right, and it's vrezy cross of you not to let me ask Him, Audrey. I don't believe you care a bit about them going away, and I know it has begun to break my heart already. When you told me first it began to thump so dreadfully fast, and then it gave a crack. I'm sure I felt it crack," and Tom began to cry.
I cannot see that it is anything to praise rich people for, that they should think of poor ones the pleasure of thinking you have made somebody else a little happier is so great that I think it is being kind to oneself to be kind to others." "I'd like to be vrezy rich," said Tom, "and then I'd be awfully kind to everybody. I'd have nobody poor at all."
"I'm unhappy too," said Racey's high-pitched little voice from the corner of the room. "I'm vrezy unhappy, and I do so want to det up." A sudden idea struck me. "You shall get up," I said. "I'm sure mother never would have wanted us to stay in bed hours after we were awake. Jump up, Racey, and Tom too; I'll dress you." Up jumped both boys with the greatest delight, and we set to work.
"Vrezy near just round the corner," said Tom. "Well then we'd better all go," I said. "I'll run up-stairs and bring down your hats and comforters, and I'll get my hat and old jacket and we'll all go. Now you two be quite quiet while I go up-stairs." I knew I could go with less noise and far more quickly than Tom, and in less than two minutes I was back again.
