She has taken the colonel with her.
You know she always takes the colonel out with her now." "That will do.

Rose, who had looked as grave as a judge while Jacintha was present, bubbled into laughter.

"You know she always takes the colonel out with her now--ha, ha, ha!" "Rose!" sighed a distant voice.
She looked round, and saw the baroness at some distance in the corridor, coming slowly towards her, with eyes bent gloomily on the ground.

Rose composed her features into a settled gravity, and went to meet her.
"I wish to speak with you," said the baroness; "let us sit down; it is cool here." Rose ran and brought a seat without a back, but well stuffed, and set it against the wall.
