My Lady Ludlow

CHAPTER IX
27/29

Presently, my lady took her to look at a curious old cabinet, which Lord Ludlow had picked up at the Hague; and while they were out of the room on this errand, I suppose the question of remuneration was settled, for I heard no more of it.
When they came back, they were talking of Mr.Gray.

Miss Galindo was unsparing in her expressions of opinion about him: going much farther than my lady--in her language, at least.
"A little blushing man like him, who can't say bo to a goose without hesitating and colouring, to come to this village--which is as good a village as ever lived--and cry us down for a set of sinners, as if we had all committed murder and that other thing!--I have no patience with him, my lady.

And then, how is he to help us to heaven, by teaching us our, a b, ab--b a, ba?
And yet, by all accounts, that's to save poor children's souls.

O, I knew your ladyship would agree with me.

I am sure my mother was as good a creature as ever breathed the blessed air; and if she's not gone to heaven I don't want to go there; and she could not spell a letter decently.
