Whew! here's a go! was the elegant expression first jerked out of Pet by the exigency of the case.
gpt
I expect this pitcher's been in the establishment ever since it was an establishment, and would have been in it as much longer only for me. Pet, child, look out! There'll be murder, distraction, and a tearing off of our shirts! Fall of Jerusalem! won't Miss Sharpe give me a blowing up, though!
human
Oh, Miss Lawless! what have you done?
gpt
Smashed the crockery,
human
Oh, dear me! Oh, Miss Lawless! how could you do so?
gpt
Didn't go for to do it. Got smashed itself.
human
Miss Sharpe will be very angry, Miss Lawless.
gpt
Well, that don't worry me much,
human
I am afraid she will blame me. I should not have left you here alone,
gpt
No, she won't. I'll send out and buy another one.
human
Oh, you can't. The servants are not allowed to run errands for the young ladies without permission from Mrs. Moodie. You will have to tell Miss Sharpe.
gpt
Well, come along then; I'll tell her. Did you bring the string?
human
Yes, here it is. Oh, Miss Lawless! I am exceedingly sorry.
gpt
Well--my goodness! you needn't be. An old blue pitcher! I used to throw half a dozen of them, every day, at the servants, at home, and nobody ever made a fuss about it. A common old blue pitcher--humph!
human
Oh! but it was different at home. They were your own, there; and Miss Sharpe is so--queer. She will scold you dreadfully.
gpt
Well, so will I, then--there! I can scold as long and as loud as she can, I reckon. An old blue pitcher! Humph! Wish to gracious I had smashed the whole set, and made one job of it.
