'Edith
my dear!' cried Mrs Skewton
'where are you? Looking for Mr Dombey somewhere
I know. We are here
my love.'
The beautiful lady released her hold of Florence
and pressing her lips once more upon her face
withdrew hurriedly
and joined them. Florence remained standing In the same place: happy
sorry
joyful
and in tears
she knew not how
or how long
but all at once: when her new Mama came back
and took her in her arms again.
'Florence
' said the lady
hurriedly
and looking into her face with great earnestness. 'You will not begin by hating me?'
'By hating you
Mama?' cried Florence
winding her arm round her neck
and returning the look.
'Hush! Begin by thinking well of me
' said the beautiful lady. 'Begin by believing that I will try to make you happy
and that I am prepared to love you
Florence. Good-bye. We shall meet again soon. Good-bye! Don't stay here
now.'
Again she pressed her to her breast she had spoken in a rapid manner
but firmly - and Florence saw her rejoin them in the other room.
