239 REVELATIONS 262 THE ESCAPE 272. PRELUDE: THERE was not an inch
of room for Lottie and Kezia in the buggy. When Pat swung them on
top of the luggage they wobbled; the grandmother's lap was full and
Linda Burnell could not possibly have held a lump of a child on
hers for any distance. Isabel, very superior, was perched beside
the new handy-man on the driver's seat. Hold-alls, bags and boxes
were piled upon the floor. These are absolute necessities that I
will not let out of my sight for one instant/' said Linda Burnell,
her voice tremb ling with fatigue and excitement. Lottie and Kezia
stood on the patch of lawn just inside the gate all ready for the
fray in their coats with brass anchor buttons and little round caps
with battleship ribbons. Hand in hand, they stared with round
solemn eyes first at the absolute necessities and then at their
mother. We shall simply have to leave them. That is all. We shall
simply have to cast them off/ 1 said Linda Burnell. A strange
little laugh flew from her lips; she leaned back against the
buttoned leather cushions and shut her eyes, her lips trembling
with laughter. Happily at that moment Mrs. Samuel Josephs, who had
been watching the scene from behind her drawing-room blind, waddled
down the garden path, Why nod leave the chudren with be for the
afterdoon, Brs. Burnell ? They could go on the dray with the
storeban when hecomes in the eveding. Those thigs on the path have
to go, dod'tthey? Yes, everything outside the house is supposed to
go, said Linda Burnell, and she waved a white hand at the tables
and chairs standing on their heads on the front lawn. How absurd
they looked ! Either they ought to be the other way up, or Lottie
and Kezia ought to stand on their heads, too. And she longed to
say: Stand on your heads, children, and wait for the store-man. It
seemed to her that would be so exquisitely funny that she could not
attend to Mrs. Samuel Josephs. The fat creaking body leaned across
the gate, and the big jelly of a face smiled. Dod't you worry, Brs.
Burnell. Loddie and Kezia can have tea with by chudren in the
dursery, and Til see theb on the dray afterwards. The grandmother
considered. Yes, it really is quite the best plan. We are very
obliged to you, Mrs. Samuel Josephs. Children, say' thank you f to
Mrs. Samuel Josephs. Two subdued chirrups: Thank you, Mrs. Samuel
Josephs, And be good little girls, and come closer they advanced,
don't forget to tell Mrs. Samuel Josephs when you want to. . . .
No, granma. Dod't worry, Brs. Burnell. At the last moment Kezia let
go Lottie's hand and darted towards the buggy. I want to kiss my
granma good-bye again. But she was too late. The buggy rolled off
up the road, Isabel bursting with pride, her nose turned up at all
the world, Linda Burnell prostrated, and the grandmother rummaging
among the very curious oddments she had had put in her black silk
reticule at the last moment, for something to give her daughter.
The buggy tiwnkled away in the sunlight and fine golden dust up the
hill and over. Kezia bit her lip, but Lottie, carefully finding
herhandkerchief first, set up a wail. Mother! Granma ! Mrs. Samuel
Josephs, like a huge warm black silk tea cosy, enveloped her. It's
all right, by dear. Be a brave child. You come and blay in the
dursery ! She put her arm round weeping Lottie and led her away.

that Mansfield had written up until her death in January of 1923.

the early, satirical stories set in Bavaria, through the luminous

twentieth century.
