"Quite well; but you will not find them at home they sailed three days ago, in the Lido, for Corfu. They are going to stay for a time at my villa there.

"Then I'd better take the Lump round to Mrs. Brown at once," said Pollyooly; and her eyes sparkled and danced. "You had," said the Honourable John Ruffin.

She had not seen her mother since she was an infant, on account of some disagreement between the parents, in consequence of which the father had brought her to Cincinnati, and placed her in the convent. There she had been for twelve years, only going to her father for vacations and holidays. So long as the father lived he would never let the child have any communication with her mother.
