On going out of the house Rosemary would never have thought that the next two ho
urs of her life would prove to be a no ordinary case.
Madam, could you give me for a cup of tea?
Rosemary looked over her shoulder. She saw a little creature with big eyes, a gi
rl of her age, squeezing a collar of the coat with blushed hands and shivering o
f cold.
You have no money at all? asked Rosemary.
No madam. said the girl and burst out crying.
Such no ordinary case! That looked like a scene from a novel. She was no ordinar
y beggar. What if try and take her into the house. And she imagined herself tell
ing to her friends I just took her home with me, that s all. and she said aloud:
Would you like to join me for a cup of tea at my place?
A light breakfast made the girl feel better. She stopped being shy and laid back
in a big armchair. When looking at her it has been hard to believe that a littl
e while ago she s been bursting into tears. Rosemary kept watching her stealthily.
Suddenly Rosemary s husband entered the room. After bringing his apology, he asked
Rosemary to follow him into the library.
Explain, who is she?
asked Phillip
What all this mean?
Rosemary said with laughter:
I picked her on the Curson street.
What are you going to do with her?
I just want to be kind to her. Take care of her, that s all!
But, - uttered Phillip in a slow voice she s amazingly beautiful.
Beautiful? Rosemary was surprised so much that she blushed to the top of
her ears. You think so?
After a half an hour Rosemary came back to the library.
- I just wanted to tell you, that miss Smith won t join us at the dinner today. I
just couldn t do a thing with her. She wouldn t even take the money.
