I don't want to get soaked, it's so uncomfortable I can amuse myself about the out-houses. But mayn't Archie come with me? This was on the first Wednesday. No Mrs. Hervey shook her head Archie must not go out again to-day, as the walk to Whitcrow in the morning had been a wet one. But if Saturday was finer he might go out with Justin as usual.
But just as she was saying this to herself with a good deal of disappointment, Rosamond called out eagerly, with quite a different tone in her voice. 'Auntie, auntie, she said, 'is that the signpost with "Whitcrow" on one of the spokes? Justin told me to look out for it. They pass by here when they go to their lessons on rainy days. I mean they turn off here instead of going on to your house.
Pierce's at Whitcrow two miles off the road to Whitcrow crosses the road to Aunt Mattie's, farther on. You look out on your way home, and you'll see a signpost with Whitcrow on one of the spokes. 'I'll ask auntie to show it me, said Miss Mouse. 'O auntie, she exclaimed, as the newcomers came within speaking distance, 'it is so nice up here looking over the moor.
Yes' as her aunt drew in the pony and passed the signpost at a walk, to let the little girl have a good look at it, and at the road beyond 'yes, that's it, "To W, h, i, t, Whitcrow," quite plain. I wonder if Whitcrow once was White Crow, auntie? Do you think so? I'd like to see the house they go to school at at least to lessons to. Can we drive that way some day?
Pierce's vicarage any day. What were you asking about Whitcrow? I don't think it ever struck me before that it may have come from White Crow. But a white crow, Rosamond, that would be a funny thing! 'Yes, said the little girl, laughing, 'when we always say "as black as a crow." But I think I have heard of a white crow or was it perhaps in a fairy story? I can't think.
'That is new since my time, said Mrs. Caryll. 'They used to drive to Whitcrow every morning and walk back if it was fine and on rainy days the pony-cart was put up at the rectory. On fine days the stable boy went with them and brought it back. I used very often to go to meet them in the afternoons across the moor.
