She did not think the garden grew prettier as they went on, and her conductor hurried her past a great many pretty squares and circles without giving her time to admire them.

It had not been an easy thing for Blue Bonnet and Annabel Jackson to show Joy the many little kindnesses which they had shown her, without becoming patronizing; but they had somehow to their credit; and Joy, for the first time in her life, was beginning to taste the sweets of companionship. Annabel Jackson was a born leader.
