I must tell you that Chrissie and Sharley and May had learnt something about these groups from a book of which they are very fond; it is called The First Year of Scientific Knowledge, and there are pictures in it of the different birds, beasts, and fishes which are mentioned. Now, let us think of some of the birds in the first group.
Ollie, you slacker!" into his own room and then finally the last motor slurred away and he was able to creep out of his shell. He met Elinor on the stairs looking encouragingly droopy, he thought. "Why Ollie, what's the matter? The pack was howling for you all over the house they've all gone over to the Sharley look, I'll get you a car " She went down a couple of steps toward the telephone.
One thing came to pass, however, which was a great pleasure to the two people it chiefly concerned and to Sharley. As for me, I don't think I gave much attention to it, and I am not sure that if it had at all interfered with my own life I should not have been rather jealous! This was a close friendship between Gerard Nestor and grandmamma.
At the touch of their arms stealing about her hunched shoulders she straightened, showing a spark of the spirit with which they were more familiar. She wrenched her body free of them and pointed a tremulous finger at the door. The two sisters stole out, feeling terribly guilty and thoroughly miserable. It was not the Aunt Sharley they knew who waited upon them that dusk at supper.
She would be pleased to see your garden, I am sure. 'Certainly, said grandmamma. 'Put on your hat and jacket, Helena, and ask Miss' she had caught sight of the girl from the window and saw that she was pretty big 'Miss Nestor to walk about with you a little. I flew off too excited to feel at all timid about making friends by myself. 'Call her Sharley, said Mrs. Nestor, as I left the room.
'My dear little girl, she said, 'you really must not get into the way of fancying misfortunes before they come. It is a very bad habit. Why shouldn't Sharley have come to fetch us? Don't you think it would be nicer to drive to Moor Court than to walk all that way along the dusty road? 'Oh, granny, I cried, and my tears, if they were there, vanished away like magic.
'I'm going out for a little, grandmamma, I said, putting my head in again for half a second at the drawing-room door as I passed. 'It isn't cold this morning, and I've got a long letter from Sharley to read over and over again. 'Take care of yourself, darling, said granny, and as I shut the door I heard her say to Kezia, 'dear child she has such tact and thoughtfulness for her age.
I've been rubbing your hands and feet. It was better to come here than to run the blockade of that patch of woods to a house. Don't try to talk." "I'm not," said Sharley, with a faint little laugh, "it's you that are talking"; and ended with a weak pause, her head falling back where she had found it, upon his arm.
Sharley and her sisters continued all that time to be my grandmamma's pupils winter and summer, all the year round, except for some weeks of holiday at Christmas, and a rather longer time in the autumn, when the Nestors generally went to the sea-side for a change; unless the weather was terribly bad or stormy, twice a week they either walked over with a maid, or the governess-cart drawn by the fat pony made its appearance at the end of our path.
'Oh dear, I thought, 'there's something the matter, and Sharley has come herself to say we can't go. I rushed upstairs, the tears already very near my eyes. 'Granny, granny, I exclaimed, 'the pony-carriage has come and Sharley's there! I'm sure she's come to tell us we can't go. My voice broke down before I could say anything more.
