The Haunted Hotel

CHAPTER XII
20/25

'Miss Agnes wouldn't give my lord up as a bad one, even when he jilted her.
And now she's sweet on him after he's dead.

Say a word against him, and she fires up as you see.

All obstinacy! It will wear out with time.

Stick to her, Master Henry--stick to her!' 'She doesn't seem to have offended you,' said Henry.
'She ?' the nurse repeated in amazement--'she offend me?
I like her in her tantrums; it reminds me of her when she was a baby.

Lord bless you! when I go to bid her good-night, she'll give me a big kiss, poor dear--and say, Nurse, I didn't mean it! About this money, Master Henry?
If I was younger I should spend it in dress and jewellery.
