"Well," said Miss Unity reluctantly, "I am sorry to say she does live there, but Mrs Margetts knows her mother well, and she's a very deserving woman. We sha'n't call the girl Kettles her name is Keturah. You'll have to teach her, you know, Betty," she added apologetically. As to that, Betty had no objection.

"There's ne'er a one in the town," said Betty, "as you'd like to have in the house. I know what they are a lazy gossiping set." Miss Unity rose with decision. "I shall go and ask Mrs Margetts at the College to tell me of someone trustworthy," she said, "and I do beg, Betty, that you will go at once to the doctor."
