Excerpt from Phoebe, Junior, Vol. 3 of 3: A Last Chronicle of Carlingford No, if they'd have gone down on their knees, nor if I had gone down on mine, would that girl have left me, cried the Old lady, with tears in her eyes. She do behave beautiful to her old granny. If so be as I haven't a good night, no power on earth would make that child go pleasuring. It's 'most too much at her age. But Phoebe confided to Ursula that it was not altogether anxiety about her grandmother. I have nobody of my own to go with. If I took grandpapa with me, I don't think it would mend matters. Once or twice it was possible, but not every day. Go and enjoy yourself, dear, she said, kissing her friend.
