"Couldn't you write to father, Mrs. Freeman, and tell him that I am not happy? Say, 'Biddy is not happy, and she wants to go back to you and the dogs.' If you say that, he'll let me come home fast enough. You might write by the next post, and father, he'd jump on the jaunting-car and drive into Ballyshannon, and send you a wire. If papa wires to you, Mrs. Freeman, the very moment he gets your letter, I may perhaps be home on Sunday.""What is it, my dear?" The head mistress drew herself slightly up, and looked in some surprise at her pupil."I know," echoed Janet, a queer angry light filling her eyes for a minute. "Oh, dear! oh, dear!

But this large, luxuriously furnished apartment was entirely given up to the sixth and fifth-form schoolgirls.

"We haven't a moment to lose, Dorothy," she said, "I want to speak to you alone before the rest of the committee arrive. That point with regard to Evelyn Percival must be settled. Perhaps your communication can keep, Marshall.""You shall see the girls one at a time in your room, darling, for whether you feel well or not, the doctor wishes you to remain quiet to-day."

Dorothy suppressed a faint sigh, took her companion's plump hand, and continued the tour of investigation.

She stood for a minute or two, then walked slowly back to the window, out of which her schoolmistress leaned.

Miss Delicia hurried on, intent on some housewifely mission, and Olive entering the house went down a long stone passage which led to the sixth form schoolroom.
