"My dear little pet Nanny, what an age since we met!" cried Valerie. "I am so unhappy! Crevel bores me to death; and Wenceslas is gone we quarreled." "I know," said Lisbeth, "and that is what brings me here. Victorin met him at about five in the afternoon going into an eating-house at five-and-twenty sous, and he brought him home, hungry, by working on his feelings, to the Rue Louis-le-Grand.
Having instant conviction of her mistake, Thaddeus eagerly seized the moment of her insensibility to convey her home. He hastily went to the top of the stairs, called to Nanny to run for a coach, and then returning to the extended figure of Lady Sara, lifted her in his arms and carried her back to the room they had left. By the help of a little water, he restored her to a sense of existence.
Bodily, poor fellow, he was on the foot-plate of the Lightning, which is as much as to say that he was everywhere by turns, and nowhere long. Mrs Marrot was there too, and baby, with Nanny Stocks as his guardian. Miss Stocks's chief employment during the evening appeared to be to forget herself in the excess of her delight, and run baby's head against all sorts of things and persons.
"Let the whole town watch, doctor. I have met her openly." "And why? Oh, don't make Nanny your excuse." "I won't. I met her because I love her." "Are you mad?" cried McQueen. "You speak as if you would marry her." "Yes," replied Gavin, determinedly, "and I mean to do it." The doctor flung up his hands. "I give you up," he said, raging. "I give you up. Think of your congregation, man."
It is true, she had a female attendant; but to her she had been accustomed from childhood, and Nanny Sidley, as her quondam nurse and actual lady's-maid was termed, appeared so much a part of herself, that, while her absence would be missed almost as greatly as that of a limb, her presence was as much a matter of course as a hand or foot.
He was almost deaf too, because he heard only one voice and that voice was Gertie's. And Nanny Stocks was there, with "the baby," but not the baby Marrot!
"Hurry, Nanny, hurry," Billy called as he disappeared from sight down a deep ravine. Poor Nanny was so frightened at what she had done, she could not hurry or begin to keep up with Billy, who made great leaps from rock to rock; so she ran under a thorn-apple tree and trusted to its low drooping branches to hide her. But Mike was too close on her heels.
Once or twice she had seen Feather by chance. She was to see her again by Feather's intention. With Donal prancing at her side, Mrs. Muir went to the Gardens to meet the child Nanny had described as "a bit of witch fire dancing with her colour and her big silk curls in a heap, and Donal staring at her like a young man at a beauty."
I told her she had lost a friend who would have watched over her, I believed, till her last breath, if she had been the one attacked by the fever." "What did she say?" "She exclaimed a great deal about how good we all were, and wondered what Deerbrook would have done without us; and said she was sure I was too kind to think of leaving her in the house with the corpse, with only Nanny.
"Yes," said Grandma softly, "it does, as I and many another woman can testify. I'm only hoping that a love great and fine will come to Cynthia's boy and that it won't cost him too much." "Why," asked Nanny carelessly, "should life be easier and richer for him?"
