"I know you didn't mean any harm, Rose," she added, presently.
"I got my silk dress done last Wednesday; I wanted to tell you." Charlotte tried to smile at Rose with her poor swollen lips and her reddened eyes.
"I'm sorry I said anything," Rose repeated; "I ought to have known it would make you feel bad, Charlotte." "No, you hadn't.

I was terrible silly.

Don't you want to see my dress, Rose ?" "Oh, Charlotte! you don't want to show it to me ?" "Yes, I do.

I want you to see it--before I pack it away.

It's in the north chamber." Rose followed Charlotte out of the room across the passageway to the north chamber.
