Rowles had a bundle of blankets as a loan, for the present moment; and Mrs. Bosher came in with sheets and towels for Mrs. Mitchell to use until her own arrived. All these kindnesses overpowered the London people, and they knew not how to thank their new friends. To avoid being thanked Mrs. Bosher nodded her bonnet at Juliet and went away. Mrs. Webster also departed. Mr.
Hole in the corner! for about twenty minutes, and there weren't enough of them to turn us out. Then they tried to get round us by being civil, but we were up to that dodge. Parson went on after me, and then old Bosher, and then King, and then Wakefield, and when he'd done I started again." "You should have seen how jolly wild they got!" cried Parson.
How they must be fretting for want of Juliet! As it happened, they were not fretting at all, but talking together cheerfully. Juliet did not want much more in the way of breakfast. She sat, cross and ugly, scowling at Mrs. Bosher. When breakfast was ended and the dinner put to cook in the oven, Juliet began once more to look about for a chance of escape.
"Yes," said Juliet's new mistress, "my name is Bosher" here the bonnet nodded, "and now you are my servant, and while you are in my service you will do precisely everything that I tell you. I have a brother who has a gun; sometimes he shoots rooks, sometimes he shoots other things. He lives next door.
This is not the first time I have had to speak to some of you for this very conduct." Parson, Telson, Bosher, and the other Parretts looked very dejected at this point. "And it is by no means the first time this term that all of you have been guilty of similar disturbances. Most of you here look frightened and uneasy enough now.
Oh, if only it were possible to be back once more at the lock! Oh, if only she could escape from this new situation! Locked doors, and windows shuttered on the outside, made this cottage a very prison. The man with the gun living-next door, the unknown rigour of the law hanging over her head, Mrs. Bosher glaring through the twilight how endure them even for a night?
In response to this somewhat tremulous invitation, Telson, Parson, Bosher, Lawkins, King, trooped into his study, the picture of satisfaction and assurance, and stood lounging about the room with their hands in their pockets as though curiosity was the sole motive of their visit. Riddell, while waiting for them, had hastily considered what he ought to say or do.
The captain replied that he had heard nothing about it. Bosher was put up to ask Bloomfield whether he considered Eutropius fit reading for young boys? Loud cheers from all the small boys in question greeted the inquiry, in the midst of which Bloomfield cunningly replied that the honourable member had better give notice of the question for next time.
Then it gave her a toasting-fork and some slices of bread, and set her in front of the kitchen fire. While thus obeying Mrs. Bosher the mind of Juliet was trying to strike out some plan of escape; but when she saw the brother outside in the road she put off running away. The clock told her that the hour was eight. The Littlebourne family was now at breakfast too.
This was Mr Grinder's first visit at the house, and he expressed his admiration of the manner in which the ceiling and the walls were decorated, remarking that he had always liked this 'ere Japanese style. Mr Bosher, with his mouth full of biscuit, mumbled that it was sweetly pretty charming beautifully done must have cost a lot of money.
