Meeta had risen to return to the sick room, but Ernest caught her hand and held her back, while he said: "But you must see my Sophie, Meeta; you must know her and then you will love her too. She will be here soon with her sister, Mrs. Schwartz." "Mrs. Schwartz her sister? Then my last doubt is removed Ernest. She is worthy of you." "Worthy of me!"
The breakfast, a mere form to Meeta at least, proceeded in silence, or with only a casual remark from Ernest, scarcely heard by her, on the weather, the rapidity with which he had travelled, or his father's condition.
We will never speak of it. "'How can we help it? said Meeta; 'I can never help talking of what I am thinking about. "'That is a mistake of yours, Meeta, said Monique; 'you never talk of some things which happened at Vienne, which you think would be no credit to you. "'You mean about our being so very poor, and being forced to sell our clothes, grandmother?

It was very soon after the reception of the letter from Ernest to which we have alluded, that Franz Rainer's health began to fail, and that so rapidly, that Meeta feared Ernest could not arrive in time to see him.
You don't know what a pleasant story we have been reading, and we have half of it left to read. Shall I tell it to you, papa?" she added; and springing up, she placed herself close to him, putting one arm round his neck, and in a few minutes she made him as well acquainted with Monique, and Martin, and Ella, and Meeta, and Jacques, and Margot, and Heister Kamp, and Father St.
She had resided at Vienne, in the south of France, and there she had left one child, Meeta, a girl of about the age of Ella.
Monique had filled the basket with everything she thought might be useful a bottle of cream, new-laid eggs, and fresh flowers. She bade Margot and Meeta be good girls, and keep close at home, when she parted from them, with a kiss to each; and the next minute she and Ella were going down the hill."
