Erminia used to beg for Maggie, until she herself put a stop to the practice; as she saw her mother yielded more frequently than was convenient, for the honor of having her daughter a visitor at Mr. Buxton's, about which she could talk to her few acquaintances who persevered in calling at the cottage. AND MINNIE USED TO BEG FOR MAGGIE UNTIL SHE HERSELF PUT A STOP TO THE PRACTICE AS SHE SAW HER MOTHER YIELDED MORE FREQUENTLY THAN WAS CONVENIENT FOR THE HONOR OF HAVING HER DAUGHTER A VISITOR AT MISTER BUXTON'S ABOUT WHICH SHE COULD TALK TO HER FEW ACQUAINTANCES WHO PERSEVERED IN CALLING AT THE COTTAGE
e which she took in Edward. When he came back for occasional holidays, his mother's face was radiant with happiness, and her manner toward him was even more caressing than he approved of. When Maggie saw him repel the hand that fain would have stroked his hair as in childish days, a longing came into her heart for some of these uncared-for tokens of her mother's love. Otherwise she meekly sank back into her old secondary place, content to have her judgment slighted and her wishes unasked as long as he stayed. At times she was now beginning to disapprove and regret some things in him; his flashiness of manner jarred against her taste; and a deeper, graver feeling was called out by his evident want of quick moral perception. "Smart and clever," or "slow and dull," took with him the place of "right and wrong." Little as he thought it, he was himself narrow-minded and dull; slow and blind to perceive the beauty and eternal wisdom of simple goodness. Erminia and Maggie became great friends.
