At the tea-table I was introduced to Mr. Leighton, whom I had not before seen. I was very much pleased by his manner, which had none of that patronizing condescension with which the rich so often address the poor. I found him a gentleman, in the truest sense of the word.

"I hope you are quite well," said Phyllis politely; "will you take some tea?" "I have just had some," said Hetty, "thank you. Do you never have tea with your mamma?" "Oh, no," said the girls, with a smile of surprise. "Little girls never do," said Miss Davis emphatically. "I do always," said Hetty; she might have added, "except when she forgets all about me," but she did not think of that now.

At three o'clock you started for a walk, never knowing how you might come back, and at five you found yourself sitting at tea in the orchard, safe.
