Edith started; looking at her with such a strange dread in her face
that Florence was more frightened than before.
'Mama!' said Florence
hurriedly advancing. 'Dear Mama! what is the matter?'
'I have not been well
' said Edith
shaking
and still looking at her in the same strange way. 'I have had had dreams
my love.'
'And not yet been to bed
Mama?'
'No
' she returned. 'Half-waking dreams.'
Her features gradually softened; and suffering Florence to e closer to her
within her embrace
she said in a tender manner
'But what does my bird do here? What does my bird do here?'
'I have been uneasy
Mama
in not seeing you to-night
and in not knowing how Papa was; and I - '
Florence stopped there
and said no more.
'Is it late?' asked Edith
fondly putting back the curls that mingled with her own dark hair
and strayed upon her face.
'Very late. Near day.'

'Dear Mama

Edith drew it suddenly away
and
for a moment
looked at her with the same strange dread (there was a sort of wild avoidance in it) as before; but she presently said
'Nothing
nothing. A blow.' And then she said
'My Florence!' and then her bosom heaved
and she was weeping passionately.
'Mama!' said Florence. 'Oh Mama
what can I do
what should I do
to make us happier? Is there anything?'
'Nothing
' she replied.
