"Then surely I must meet them." With a shy gesture the boy led her forward. "Miss Cartright is from New York, Mr. Cabot," said Giusippe simply. "Long ago when I was a little lad I knew her in Venice, and she was good to me and to my parents." "It was five years ago," added Miss Cartright. "I went there to paint."
They bade a hurried good-bye to Miss Cartright, whom Uncle Bob was to put aboard the New York train, and into a cab bundled Hannah, Giusippe, and Jean, in which equipage, almost smothered in luggage, they were rolled off to Beacon Hill. Nothing could exceed Giusippe's interest in these first glimpses of the new country to which he had come.
And without any special brains, but with some nerve and common sense, I put him on his feet because I never had the weakness that he did nothing but a cigar for mine, thanks. And " Trotter paused. I looked at his tattered clothes and at his deeply sunburnt, hard, thoughtful face. "Didn't Cartright ever offer to do anything for you?" I asked. "Wainwright," corrected Trotter.

The children would have been glad to linger for a much longer time in the vast shop had not the chime of a clock warned them that the noon hour, when they were to meet Miss Cartright, was approaching. She had promised to lunch with them all at the Holland House. Yes, she looked just the same, "only prettier," Jean whispered to Giusippe.
Cabot, Miss Jean, and good Hannah will not themselves tell you how kind they have been, so I myself must tell it," said the boy.

When I think that the day after to-morrow she is to meet us in New York it seems too good to be true. Won't it be fun? I love Miss Cartright! Do you suppose she looks just the same as she did when she was with us on the steamer?" "I suppose so.
Norcross, who was an old college friend of Uncle Bob's, greeted them cordially and when Miss Cartright remarked on the airiness of his workshop he answered: "Yes, I have plenty of air up here; of course I enjoy it, too.
