"He has a good heart, and is pained at his friends' desertion of him. Sure there is no harm in that?" "I would have too much spirit to show I was hurt, though," cries Hetty, clenching her little fists. "And I would smile, though that horrible old painted woman boxed my ears. She is horrible, mamma. You think so yourself, Theo! Own, now, you think so yourself!

Next morning, about an hour after breakfast, Mrs. She went at once. In the passage she met Johnny Whitelamb coming out. "I am to fetch Miss Hetty," he whispered with a world of dreadful meaning. But for once Johnny was not strictly obedient.

She was still holding it in the palm of her hand when the kitchen door again slammed and the handy man limped into the room.

Barney limped around the side of the table for a closer look.

If you could believe he loved you and would help you, as you believe I love you and will help you, it wouldn't be so hard to die on Monday, would it?"

In one of the rooms at Osborne, as a pendant to a picture from the "Faery Queen," there hangs a representation from a very different masterpiece in English literature, of the young Squire watching Hetty in the dairy.

It's horrible to grope." "Yes, yes, child," said the deacon, hesitatingly. He did not understand metaphor. "You are not thinking of going away, are you, Hetty?" "Going away!" exclaimed Hetty.
