There was no possibility of taking a walk that day. We had been wandering indeed in the leafless shrubbery an hour in the morning. But since dinner, Mrs Reid, when there was no company dined early, the cold winter wind had brought with it, clouds so somber and rain. So penetrating that further outdoor exercise was now out of the question, was glad of it. I never liked long walks, especially on chilly afternoons. Dreadful to me was the coming home in the raw twilight with nipped fingers and toes and a heart saddened by the chidings of Bessie, the nurse and humbled by the consciousness of my physical inferiority to Eliza John and Georgiana Reid. The said Eliza John and Georgiana were now clustered around their mama in the drawing room. She lay reclined on a sofa by the fire side and with her darlings about her for the time, neither quarreling nor crying looked perfectly happy me. She had dispensed from joining the group saying she regretted to be under the necessity of keeping me at a distance. But that until she heard from Bessie and could discover by her own observation that I was endeavoring in good earnest to acquire a more sociable and childlike disposition. A more attractive and sprightly manner, something lighter, Franker, more natural as were. She really must exclude me from the privileges intended only for contented, happy little Children. What does Bessie say? I have done? I asked Jane, I don't like Cavaliers or questioners. Besides, there is something truly forbidding in a child, taking up her elders in that manner, be seated somewhere and until you can speak pleasantly remain silent.
