The Palace Beautiful

CHAPTER XV
15/16

Neither in their visages nor in their manners are they beautiful.

Sharp's the word from morn till night here, and many a time I cry.

I hasn't had no moment yet to visit the sights, for aunt's hands are very full, and she looks most natural to me to assist her, which I do, as in duty bound.

I'm told that there isn't much of the real London to be seen from Penelope Mansion, so I live in hopes that it is as beautiful as we pictured it beyond these dull walls.

Miss, I has spoken to my aunt, and she will be very pleased to receive you three, and will put you in a bedroom to the front of the house.
