`` That was your fault , because you forgot my pocket-money . But , really , shall I be rich by and by ? '' `` I am afraid you will . '' `` Why afraid , uncle ? '' `` Too much money is a bad thing . '' `` But I can give it away , you know ; that is always the pleasantest part of having it I think . '' `` I 'm glad you feel so , for you can do much good with your fortune if you know how to use it well . '' `` You shall teach me , and when I am a woman we will set up a school where nothing but the three R 's shall be taught , and all the children live on oatmeal , and the girls have waists a yard round , '' said Rose , with a sudden saucy smile dimpling her cheeks . `` You are an impertinent little baggage , to turn on me in that way right in the midst of my first attempt at teaching . Never mind , I 'll have an extra bitter dose for you next time , miss . '' `` I knew you wanted to laugh , so I gave you a chance . Now , I will be good , master , and do my lesson nicely . '' So Dr. Alec had his laugh , and then Rose sat down and took a lesson in accounts which she never forgot . `` Now come and read aloud to me ; my eyes are tired , and it is pleasant to sit here by the fire while the rain pours outside and Aunt Jane lectures upstairs , '' said Uncle Alec , when last month 's accounts had been put in good order and a fresh page neatly begun .

She did her very best , feeling that she was being criticised , and hoping that she might not be found wanting in this as in other things . `` Shall I go on , sir ? '' she asked very meekly , when the chapter ended . `` If you are not tired , dear . It is a pleasure to hear you , for you read remarkably well , '' was the answer that filled her heart with pride and pleasure .
