I wonder ludie. That was her pet name for her nurse. What pigeon's eggs taste like! She said, as she was eating her egg. Not quite a common one, for they always picked out the pinky ones for her. We'll get you a pigeon's egg. And you should judge for yourself, said the nurse. Oh, no, no, returned Irene suddenly, reflecting they might disturb the old lady in getting it, and that even if they did not, she would have one less in consequence. What a strange creature you are! Said the nurse, first to want a thing, and then to refuse it. But she did not say it. Crossley and the princess never minded any remarks that were not unfriendly. Well, you see ludie? There were reasons, she returned and said no more, for she did not want to bring up the subject of their former strike lest her nurse should offer to go before she had had her grandmother's permission to bring her. Of course she could refuse to take her. But then she would believe her, even less than ever.
