The Tenant of Wildfell Hall(31)
From this window were visible the porter?s lodge and the coach diaper bagscarriage- road, and just as I had dissolved so much of the silver- white foliage veiling the panes as left room to look out, I saw the gates thrown open and a carriage roll through. I watched it ascending the drive with indifference; carriages often came to Gateshead, but none ever brought visitors in whom I was interested; it stopped in coach tote bags? front of the house, the door-bell rang loudly, the new-comer was admitted. All this being nothing to me, my vacant attention soon found livelier attraction in the spectacle of a little hungry robin, which came and chirruped on the twigs of the leafless cherry-tree nailed against the wall near the casement. The remains of my breakfast of bread and milk stood on the table, and having crumbled a morsel of roll, I was tugging at the sash to put out the crumbs on the window- sill, when Bessie came running upstairs into the nursery.?Miss Jane, coach poppy bags? take off your pinafore; what are you doing there? Have you washed your hands and face thismorning?? I gave another tug before I answered, for I wanted the bird to be secure of its bread: the sash yielded; I scattered the crumbs, some on the stone sill, some on the cherry-tree bough, then, closing the window, I replied??No, Bessie; I have onlyjust finished dusting.??Troublesome, careless child! and what are you doing now? You look quite red, as if you had been about some mischief: what were you opening the window for??I was spared the trouble of answering, for Bessie seemed in too great a hurry to listen to explanations; she hauled me to the discount bagswashstand, inflicted a merciless, but happily brief scrub on my face and hands with soap, water, and a coarse towel; disciplined my head with a bristly brush, denuded me of my pinafore, and then hurrying me to the top of the stairs, bid me go down directly, as I was wanted in the breakfast-room.
