The Tale of Hill Top Farm
“No other blow could be as brutal or bitter as that, however. Now that Norman was gone, there was nothing left to lose and no reason to feel afraid. She opened the envelope as she walked up the path to Belle Green.It was, of course, from her father, composed in his usual stern, dispassionate style, the telegraphic contractions rendering it even sterner and more dispassionate. Beatrix was wanted at home, without delay. The parlor maid had left without giving notice, and Mrs. Potter was suffering ...from a cold and could not be expected to interview applicants for the position. He himself had had another bilious attack. Beatrix was to catch the earliest possible train tomorrow morning so that she could be home in time for tea.Beatrix crumpled up the telegram and thrust it into the pocket of her skirt.
