The young girl, so fresh, so unconventional, and yet so orderly as
you at once recognised her to be, was indeed widely in contrast, at
this moment, with everything about her. But even as a ray of
sunshine, fall into what dismal place it may, instantaneously creates
for itself a propriety in being there, so did it seem altogether fit that
the girl should be standing there at the threshold. The old maiden
herself began to feel that the door ought to be shoved back, and the
rusty key turned in the reluctant lock.
“ Can it be Phoebe 1 ” questioned she within herself. “ It must
be little Phoebe ; for it can be nobody else—and there is a look of her
father about her, too. But what does she want here 1 And how like
a country cousin to come down upon a poor body in this way, without
so much as a day’s notice, or asking whether she would be welcome!
Well, she must have a night’s lodging, I suppose, and to-morrow the
child shall go back to her mother ! ”
