Somerset said that he was coming on the very day she mentioned that the appointment gave him infinite gratification, which was quite within the truth. 'Come into this shop with me, said Paula, with good-humoured authoritativeness. They entered the shop and talked on while she made a small purchase. But not a word did Paula say of her sudden errand to town.
The apron was found to be eminently satisfactory, and Teresa promised to put it on the first thing in the morning, and I could see a few tears in her eyes as she said so. "And now," said my father, "you've shown us all these things which you have bought us with your five francs. Where is the present for yourself?" Paula looked at us all with dismay. "I declare," she said, "I forgot!
Alone with his sister he might have smiled to himself over the lengths she went in the satisfaction of her passion for good works. But Paula, he knew, would just as soon have invited a strange bench-warming dentist to come and work on her teeth by way of being kind to him.
"Stay oh, dear! it will grieve you again, but I think I think they said the shoes belonged but I did not attend. However, they were talking of a groom a freedman a stammerer...." "Then they certainly are hunting down an innocent man," cried Paula with a deep sigh; and she sat down again in front of her toilet-table to finish dressing.
"Oh, Lisita!" there was real consternation in Paula's voice, "I'm so sorry I hurt you! You must get to bed, and don't let's talk any more tonight." I dreamed of Paula the whole night long. I saw her either dying or dead, or in heaven with the angels; but in the morning all my fears had disappeared and a few days later I even forgot the whole thing.

Something serious must have occurred, and with characteristic presence of mind she called out, to show that she had heard Paula's signal: "Now, make haste. Will you be quick? Wheeuh! girls wheeuh! Hurry, hurry!"
Irritated and provoked, he took leave of all the others, carefully avoiding a glance even at Paula, though, after he rose, she went up to him on purpose to say a few pleasant words, and to assure him how highly she esteemed his adopted son.
"First I want to thank you for the care you've taken of Miss Desmond, and for all your kindness and goodness to her." "Oh!" was all Paula could say. She had expected something so different. "I don't see what business it is of yours, though," she added next moment. "Only that she's alone here, and I'm the only person she knows in Paris.
Mary read these letters to Paula as they came in the hope of provoking some question that would make it possible to tell John Wollaston's wife the tale of his necessities, but nothing of the sort happened. He told me he was going to get him to come out if he could." The other casts brought up nothing whatever. As it happened Mary paid dear for her procrastination.
