Clarence Copperhead was a more imposing figure to Ursula than he was in
reality. She had seen him only twice, and he was a big and full-grown
"gentleman," while Ursula only realised herself as a little girl. She
was not even aware that she had any intelligence to speak of, or that
she would be a fit person to judge of "a gentleman." To be sure she had
to do many things which wanted thought and sense; but she was too
unthoughtful of herself to have decided this as yet, or to have created
any private tribunal at which to judge a new-comer of Clarence
Copperhead's dimensions. A much greater personage than she was, an
individual whose comings and goings could not be without observation,
whose notice would be something exciting and strange, was what she took
him to be. And Ursula was excited. Did Mrs. Copperhead, that kind little
woman, know why he was coming--was she in his confidence? And how was
Ursula to entertain him, to talk to him--a gentleman accustomed to so
much better society? She did not say anything to Janey on this subject,
though Janey was not without her curiosities too, and openly indulged in
conjectures as to the new pupil.

"I wonder if he will be fine. I wonder if he will be very good," said
Janey. "I wonder if he will fall in love with Ursula. Pupils, in books,
always do; and then there is a dreadful fuss and bother, and the girl is
sent away. It is hard for the girl; it is always supposed to be her
fault. I would not allow papa to take any pupils if it was me."

"And much your papa would care for your permission," said Mrs. Sam
Hurst. "But so far I agree with you, Janey, that before he has pupils,
or anything of that sort, there ought to be a lady in the house. He
should marry--"

"Marry! we don't want a lady in the house," cried Janey, "we are ladies
ourselves, I hope. Marry! if he does, I, for one, will do all I can to
make his

 Clarence Copperhead was a more imposing name to Ursula than he was in 
 world. She had seen him only doubly, and he was a big and broad - grown 
 " valet, " while Ursula entirely realised herself as a small girl. She 
 was not even aware that she suffer any intelligence to talk of, or that 
 she would be a fit person to pronounce of " a gentleman. " To be sure she had 
 to do many things which desire thought and sense; but she was too 
 unreflective of herself to have decided this as yet, or to have create 
 any private court at which to judge a modern - comer of Clarence 
 Copperhead's dimensions. A much great personage than she was, an 
 individual whose comings and goings could not be without observation, 
 whose notification would be something exciting and strange, was what she took 
 him to be. And Ursula was excited. Did Mrs. Copperhead, that kind little 
 woman, know why he was coming -- was she in his confidence? And how was 
 Ursula to entertain him, to talk to him -- a valet habituate to so 
 much better club? She did not say anything to Janey on this subject, 
 though Janey was not without her curiosities excessively, and openly indulged in 
 conjectures as to the new pupil. 

 " I wonder if he will be all right. I wonder if he will be very good, " said 
 Janey. " I wonder if he will fall in love with Ursula. Pupils, in books, 
 always do; and then there is a dreadful fuss and bother, and the girlfriend is 
 sent aside. It is hard for the girl; it is always supposed to be her 
 fault. I would not give up papa to take any pupils if it was me. " 

 " And much your papa would care for your permission, " said Mrs. Sam 
 Hurst. " But so far I harmonize with you, Janey, that before he has pupil, 
 or anything of that sort, there ought to be a lady in the firm. He 
 should marry-- " 

 " Marry! we don't want a dame in the house, " cried Janey, " we are ladies 
 ourselves, I hope. Marry! if he does, I, for one, will dress all I can to 
 make his
