THREE:Rose used often to come to Odiam, where she was at first rather shy of Reuben's children, all of whom were older than herself. In time, however, she outgrew her shyness, and became of an exceedingly mad and romping disposition. She ran about the house like a wild thing, she dropped blackberries into Caro's cream, she tickled Pete's neck with wisps of hay, she danced in the yard with Jemmy. Reuben grew desperate��he felt the hopelessness of capturing this baby who played games with his children; and yet Rose was in some ways so much older than they��she loved to say risky things in front of the innocent Caro, and howled with laughter when she could not understand��she loved to prod and baffle the two boys, who in this respect were nearly as inexperienced as their sister. Then, on the walk home with Reuben, over Boarzell, she would retail these feats[Pg 255] of hers with gusto, she would invite his kisses, sting up his passion��she tormented him with her extraordinary combinations of childishness and experience, shyness and abandonment, innocence and corruption.Then the baby began to howl because it was hungry. Rose had nursed it herself, and its wants had not occurred to the unhappy Caro or her father. There was delay and confusion while a bottle was fetched and milk prepared, and then��to crown all��cow's milk upset it, and it was sick. But Reuben escaped this final tragedy��he had left the room after a few mouthfuls, and gone to Handshut's cottage.
