'We are very grateful for his kindness, put in Kalliope, in a repressive tone.
And I shall write to Miss White, and try to comfort her about her sister. 'You won't say I told! 'Oh no; but I shall have quite reason enough for writing in telling her that I am sorry my little niece led her sister into crooked paths.
