Now, go and help to bring up the teas." Effie turned to her duties with a tingling sensation in her eyes. It was the first time since her arrival at St. Joseph's that her work seemed almost impossible to her. Her heart quite ached with longing to know what Lawson had meant. What had he to tell her about George?
But nobody saw him. Then he began to feel a curious tingling sensation all over him. "Now I am going to explode," he cried.
