The other servants agreed to keep her secret, and Joe the coachman promised to drive her most of the way when he came back with the carriage.

Accordingly, she made her appearance at the cottage quite unexpectedly, to the great joy of Tulee.
When she unwrapped the little black-haired baby from its foldings of white muslin, Tulee exclaimed: "He looks jus' like his good-for-nothing father; and so does Missy Rosy's baby.

I'm 'fraid 't will make poor missy feel bad to see it, for she don't know nothin' 'bout it." "Yes I do, Tulee," said Rosa, who had heard Chloe's voice, and gone out to greet her.

"I heard Tom tell you about it." She took up the little hand, scarcely bigger than a bird's claw, and while it twined closely about her finger, she looked into its eyes, so like to Gerald's in shape and color.

She was hoping that those handsome eyes might never be used as his had been, but she gave no utterance to her thoughts.
