Choose the right variant: "He's my husband, if you please, and I'm his little wife. So NOW we'll see who's your little mother!"
Choose the right variant: "Papa's not about to marry--papa IS married, my dear. Papa was married the day before yesterday at Brighton."
Choose the right variant: "As your father's wedded wife? Utterly!" Miss Overmore replied. And the difference began of course in her being addressed, even by Maisie, from that day and by her particular request, as Mrs. Beale.
Choose the right variant: "Isn't he beautiful?" the child ingenuously asked.
Choose the right variant: "On account of the marriage?" Maisie risked.
Choose the right variant: "Very much indeed; but that won't matter NOW." Miss Overmore spoke with peculiar significance and to her pupil's mystification.
Choose the right variant: Her companion hesitated. "No--he's horrid," she, to Maisie's surprise, sharply returned. But she debated another minute, after which she handed back the picture.
Choose the right variant: His honeymoon, when he came back from Brighton—not on the morrow of Mrs. Wix's visit, and not, oddly, till several days later--his honeymoon was perhaps perceptibly tinged with the dawn of a later stage of wedlock.
Choose the right variant: It appeared to Maisie herself to exhibit a fresh attraction, and she was troubled, having never before had occasion to differ from her lovely friend.
Choose the right variant: Miss Overmore glittered more gaily; meanwhile it came over Maisie, and quite dazzlingly, that her "smart" governess was a bride.
Choose the right variant: She caught her pupil to her bosom in a manner that was not to be outdone by the emissary of her predecessor, and a few moments later, when things had lurched back into their places, that poor lady, quite defeated of the last word, had soundlessly taken flight.
Choose the right variant: After Mrs. Wix's retreat Miss Overmore appeared to recognise that she was not exactly in a position to denounce Ida Farange's second union; but she drew from a table-drawer the photograph of Sir Claude and, standing there before Maisie, studied it at some length.
Choose the right variant: It was there indeed principally that it ended, for except that the child could reflect that she should presently have four parents in all, and also that at the end of three months the staircase, for a little girl hanging over banisters, sent up the deepening rustle of more elaborate advances, everything made the same impression as before.
Choose the right variant: Maisie felt a fear. "Won't papa dislike to see it there?"
Choose the right variant: Miss Overmore laughed, and Maisie could see that in spite of the irritation produced by Mrs. Wix she was in high spirits. "Which marriage do you mean?"
Choose the right variant: Mrs. Beale had very pretty frocks, but Miss Overmore's had been quite as good, and if papa was much fonder of his second wife than he had been of his first Maisie had foreseen that fondness, had followed its development almost as closely as the person more directly involved.
Choose the right variant: So she only could ask what, such being the case, she should do with it: should she put it quite away—where it wouldn't be there to offend? On this Miss Overmore again cast about; after which she said unexpectedly: "Put it on the schoolroom mantelpiece."
Choose the right variant: There was little indeed in the commerce of her companions that her precocious experience couldn't explain, for if they struck her as after all rather deficient in that air of the honeymoon of which she had so often heard--in much detail, for instance, from Mrs. Wix--it was natural to judge the circumstance in the light of papa's proved disposition to contest the empire of the matrimonial tie.
Choose the right variant: There were things dislike of which, as the child knew it, wouldn't matter to Mrs. Beale now, and their number increased so that such a trifle as his hostility to the photograph of Sir Claude quite dropped out of view.

The underlined word is: "She has brought you and me together," said Sir Claude.
The underlined word is: "She's not turned out as I should like--her mother will pull her to pieces. But what's one to do--with nothing to do it on? And she's better than when she came--you can tell her mother that. I'm sorry to have to say it to you--but the poor child was a sight."
The underlined word is: "There's nothing she hasn't heard. But it doesn't matter--it hasn't spoiled her. If you knew what it costs me to part with you!" she pursued to Maisie.
The underlined word is: "Well then," he said to Maisie, "you must try the trick at OUR place."
The underlined word is: "You little monster--take care what you do! But that's what she does do," she continued to Sir Claude. "She did it to me and Beale."
The underlined word is: He held out his hand to her again. "Will you come now?"
The underlined word is: Her companions of course laughed anew and Mrs. Beale gave her an affectionate shake.
The underlined word is: His cheerful echo prolonged the happy truth, and Maisie broke out almost with enthusiasm: "I've brought you and her together!"
The underlined word is: Mrs. Beale slowly got up, still with her hands on Maisie, but emitting a soft exhalation. "Well, if you're glad, that may help us; for I assure you that I shall never give up any rights in her that I may consider I've acquired by my own sacrifices. I shall hold very fast to my interest in her. What seems to have happened is that she has brought you and me together."
The underlined word is: Mrs. Beale addressed her assent to Sir Claude. "As well so as any other way. I'll send on her things to-morrow."
The underlined word is: Sir Claude watched her as she charmingly clung to the child. "I'm so glad you really care for her. That's so much to the good."
The underlined word is: Then she gave a tug to the child's coat, glancing at her up and down with some ruefulness.
