“
That
’
s
not
a
bit
likely
.
”
“
I
don
’
t
know
that
,
”
said
Diamond
.
“
You
’
re
always
saying
that
,
”
said
Nanny
.
“
I
don
’
t
like
it
.
”
“
Then
I
won
’
t
say
it
again
—
if
I
don
’
t
forget
.
”
said
Diamond
.
“
But
it
was
such
a
beautiful
dream
!
—
wasn
’
t
it
,
Nanny
?
What
a
pity
you
opened
that
door
and
let
the
bees
out
!
You
might
have
had
such
a
long
dream
,
and
such
nice
talks
with
the
moon
-
lady
.
Do
try
to
go
again
,
Nanny
.
I
do
so
want
to
hear
more
.
”
But
now
the
nurse
came
and
told
him
it
was
time
to
go
;
and
Diamond
went
,
saying
to
himself
,
“
I
can
’
t
help
thinking
that
North
Wind
had
something
to
do
with
that
dream
.
It
would
be
tiresome
to
lie
there
all
day
and
all
night
too
—
without
dreaming
.
Perhaps
if
she
hadn
’
t
done
that
,
the
moon
might
have
carried
her
to
the
back
of
the
north
wind
—
who
knows
?
”
IT
WAS
a
great
delight
to
Diamond
when
at
length
Nanny
was
well
enough
to
leave
the
hospital
and
go
home
to
their
house
.
She
was
not
very
strong
yet
,
but
Diamond
’
s
mother
was
very
considerate
of
her
,
and
took
care
that
she
should
have
nothing
to
do
she
was
not
quite
fit
for
.
If
Nanny
had
been
taken
straight
from
the
street
,
it
is
very
probable
she
would
not
have
been
so
pleasant
in
a
decent
household
,
or
so
easy
to
teach
;
but
after
the
refining
influences
of
her
illness
and
the
kind
treatment
she
had
had
in
the
hospital
,
she
moved
about
the
house
just
like
some
rather
sad
pleasure
haunting
the
mind
.
As
she
got
better
,
and
the
colour
came
back
to
her
cheeks
,
her
step
grew
lighter
and
quicker
,
her
smile
shone
out
more
readily
,
and
it
became
certain
that
she
would
soon
be
a
treasure
of
help
.
It
was
great
fun
to
see
Diamond
teaching
her
how
to
hold
the
baby
,
and
wash
and
dress
him
,
and
often
they
laughed
together
over
her
awkwardness
.
But
she
had
not
many
such
lessons
before
she
was
able
to
perform
those
duties
quite
as
well
as
Diamond
himself
.
Things
however
did
not
go
well
with
Joseph
from
the
very
arrival
of
Ruby
.
It
almost
seemed
as
if
the
red
beast
had
brought
ill
luck
with
him
.
The
fares
were
fewer
,
and
the
pay
less
.
Ruby
’
s
services
did
indeed
make
the
week
’
s
income
at
first
a
little
beyond
what
it
used
to
be
,
but
then
there
were
two
more
to
feed
.
After
the
first
month
he
fell
lame
,
and
for
the
whole
of
the
next
Joseph
dared
not
attempt
to
work
him
.
I
cannot
say
that
he
never
grumbled
,
for
his
own
health
was
far
from
what
it
had
been
;
but
I
can
say
that
he
tried
to
do
his
best
.
During
all
that
month
,
they
lived
on
very
short
commons
indeed
,
seldom
tasting
meat
except
on
Sundays
,
and
poor
old
Diamond
,
who
worked
hardest
of
all
,
not
even
then
—
so
that
at
the
end
of
it
he
was
as
thin
as
a
clothes
-
horse
,
while
Ruby
was
as
plump
and
sleek
as
a
bishop
’
s
cob
.
Nor
was
it
much
better
after
Ruby
was
able
to
work
again
,
for
it
was
a
season
of
great
depression
in
business
,
and
that
is
very
soon
felt
amongst
the
cabmen
.
City
men
look
more
after
their
shillings
,
and
their
wives
and
daughters
have
less
to
spend
.
It
was
besides
a
wet
autumn
,
and
bread
rose
greatly
in
price
.
When
I
add
to
this
that
Diamond
’
s
mother
was
but
poorly
,
for
a
new
baby
was
coming
,
you
will
see
that
these
were
not
very
jolly
times
for
our
friends
in
the
mews
.
Notwithstanding
the
depressing
influences
around
him
,
Joseph
was
able
to
keep
a
little
hope
alive
in
his
heart
;
and
when
he
came
home
at
night
,
would
get
Diamond
to
read
to
him
,
and
would
also
make
Nanny
produce
her
book
that
he
might
see
how
she
was
getting
on
.
For
Diamond
had
taken
her
education
in
hand
,
and
as
she
was
a
clever
child
,
she
was
very
soon
able
to
put
letters
and
words
together
.
