Miss Ellerby And the Ferryman
“I’ll not lie, I’d long felt a wish to know her better. But I’m not one to push. Even after Sophy’s move t’ Aylfenhame, Miss Isabel remained a proper young English Miss, an’ seemed to feel no desire to change that. Visitin’ wi’ the troll as keeps the toll-bridge made no part of ‘er thinkin’, an small wonder. Still, I felt in me bones that she was goin’ t’ need a little help Aylfenhame-side, an’ so I took meself thataways. That Ferryman’s a useful sort o’ chap, I’ll give ‘im that!
‘Course, even w...hen ye are expectin’ visitors, they often appear when ye’ve just taken the decision to do sommat else. Ye’ll ‘ave noticed that, I’ll wager. When Miss Isabel an’ Sophy an’ the rest arrived, I ‘ad just got into the bath. Embarrassin’, an’ Miss Isabel — bein’ so proper — well, she ain’t the type to cope well wi’ the sight of the likes o’ me in naught but me smallclothes.
Poor lass! She were as red as anythin’.
The visit to Balligumph was deferred until the following morning, as Sophy considered that Isabel’s day had been eventful enough.MoreLess
