The prim (he had learned that word from Brother Francis) and proper exterior dropped for a moment and suddenly she didn’t quite look like Nanny anymore.

Warlock unwrapped the sweet and popped it into his mouth. “You’re becoming quite the manipulator.” She said proudly, “but don’t get too clever for your own good. Nanny reached into her pocket and pulled out another one, this one a bright red and shiny sweet that Warlock only got on special occasions.

He blinked his eyes up at Nanny and looks back down at the hostage sweet. Warlock looked at the sweet on the table, caught under Nanny’s pale hand and her neatly painted nails that matched her outfit. Are you sure you’re thinking of the right word?” The Madeline in question, the dog lazing under the table, raised her head from the floor and gave her tail two lazy wags. “Because when I told you I loved Madeline you said love was stupid and I shouldn’t love anything because I was going to crush it all to dirt under my feet.” Warlock made a face at her and shrugged one shoulder. Her long fingers, however, snatched it back before his own could grab it. She slid it across the table and he smiled, abandoning his sandwich to take the candy. She pursed her painted lips and reached into the pocket of her black tweed jacket, pulling out a nearly wrapped sweet. “Eavesdropping on my parents.” Warlock replied with a smile. “And where did you learn a word like that?” When he spoke to her, however, she had made a funny noise in the back of her throat and raised her eyebrow at him. Nanny, who he knew saw everything anyway, hadn’t stopped him trying to do it so he continued. He told her as much during lunch one day, while he was picking the crusts off his sandwiches and trying to feed them to the large brown dog under the table. It made sense now, why Warlock had heard his mother screaming it shortly after his dad had told her it wasn’t appropriate of her to spend so much time away from home.īut despite all of that, with his newfound knowledge and vocabulary, Warlock had decided that his Nanny was a hypocrite. Warlock had learned that day, that a hypocrite wasn’t actually anything to do with the animal like he had thought, but was actually a person who did or said one thing, and then did it themselves. Nanny approved of lying, as long as it was never to her. Warlock had lied and said he heard it used in the kitchen. Why his mother had called his father a baby hippo made no sense, so he had sought more information.īrother Francis had frowned and asked where he learned that word.

Warlock had learned about hippos several months earlier and had assumed that a hypocrite was similar to a fawn to a deer or a piglet to a pig. He had chosen him and not Nanny to ask because the gardener was the foremost knowledge on all things great and small. Regardless, he had learned the word but hadn’t known what it meant until he had asked Brother Francis. Brother Francis told him the word for what he had been doing was ‘eavesdropping' but Nanny said if people really wanted their conversations to be kept private, they shouldn’t be so loud. He had learned the word from his parents when they were fighting behind the closed door of the study.
