'Not
Miss
but what we talked about the family and visitors
' said Susan
'and but what I heard much said
although the nurse before Mrs Richards make unpleasant remarks when I was in pany
and hint at little Pitchers
but that could only be attributed
poor thing
' observed Susan
with posed forbearance
'to habits of intoxication
for which she was required to leave
and did.'
Florence
who was seated at her chamber window
with her face resting on her hand
sat looking out
and hardly seemed to hear what Susan said
she was so lost in thought.
'At all events
Miss
' said Susan
'I remember very well that this same gentleman
Mr Carker
was almost
if not quite
as great a gentleman with your Papa then
as he is now. It used to be said in the house then
Miss
that he was at the head of all your Pa's affairs in the City
and managed the whole
and that your Pa minded him more than anybody
which
begging your pardon
Miss Floy
he might easy do
for he never minded anybody else. I knew that
Pitcher as I might have been.'
Susan Nipper
with an injured remembrance of the nurse before Mrs Richards
emphasised 'Pitcher' strongly.
'And that Mr Carker has not fallen off
Miss
' she pursued
'but has stood his ground
and kept his credit with your Pa
I know from what is always said among our people by that Perch
whenever he es to the house; and though he's the weakest weed in the world
Miss Floy
and no one can have a moment's patience with the man
he knows what goes on in the City tolerable well
and says that your Pa does nothing without Mr Carker
and leaves all to Mr Carker
and acts according to Mr Carker
and has Mr Carker always at his elbow
and I do believe that he believes (that washiest of Perches!) that after your Pa
the Emperor of India is the child unborn to Mr Carker.'
Not a word of this was lost on Florence
who
with an awakened interest in Susan's speech
no longer gazed abstractedly on the prospect without
but looked at her
and listened with attention.
'Yes
Susan
' she said
when that young lady had concluded. 'He is in Papa's confidence
and is his friend
I am sure.'
