The other men in the shop also saw this lovely vision, and an attendant of the name of Turtle sprang forward to ask what he could do. "I want to see Mr. Martin," said the silvery voice. Martin felt pleased, and said sotto voce, "Chuck it, Turtle; you're out of it, old boy." A minute later he was standing before Aneta, inquiring in a trembling voice what he could do for her.
"And is it far, far from London, or quite in the country?" "It is," said Maggie, "in in the Norwood direction." This remark made no impression whatever on Merry, who had not the least idea where the Norwood direction was. But by-and-by, when she parted from Maggie and joined her sister and Aneta, she said, "I have a piece of rather good news to tell about dear Maggie Howland.
"He gave me five pounds, and I have spent one. There are still four pounds left," said Maggie. "I meant to run away with the help of these." "I will lend you a pound," said Aneta, "and we'll get the brooch back to-morrow." "But, Aneta, I have not yet told you it is too fearful you cannot conceive what my stepfather is like.
The school would be the better for her absence. The thing could be done, and it would be done, if Aneta used that knowledge which she now possessed. The girls all met at tea, and Maggie was in the highest spirits. She knew nothing whatever of all the information which Aneta had gathered in her absence.
Aneta and Cicely, with some of Aneta's own friends, two girls of the name of Armitage Anne and Jessie and a very graceful girl called Sylvia St. John, walked up and down talking quietly together for some little time. Then Cicely looked eagerly round her. "I can't see Merry anywhere," she remarked. "She is all right, dear, I am sure," said Aneta. But Aneta in her inmost heart did not think so.
Martin, Maggie and I had a long talk yesterday, and will you put this matter into my hands?" "Good heavens! what next?" murmured Lady Lysle to herself. "Will you give me your husband's address, and may I go to see him?" "You mean the the shop?" said Mrs. Martin. "I don't go into that shop!" said Lady Lysle. "Yes, I mean the shop," said Aneta. "I want to go and see him there."
Martin; "we wish her Bo-peep and I I mean James and I to stay where she is." "And so do I wish her to stay where she is," said Aneta. "Auntie darling, you don't quite understand; but Mrs. Martin and I understand. Don't we, Mrs. Martin?" "Well, I am sure," said Mrs. Martin, "I haven't the faintest idea what you are driving at, Miss Miss Lysle." "Well, it is just this," said Aneta.
"Well, the fact is," said Cicely, "father and mother were in London, and the rest of us were out on a picnic. But it doesn't matter a bit; you've come, and the sooner the better. Oh, it is nice to see you again! But how tall you are, Neta, and how grown up you look!" "I am seventeen, remember," said Aneta. "I don't feel grown-up, but auntie says I look it."
"Oh, I am terribly sorry! Sit here now, and let me comfort you." "Oh! I can't, Aneta. You don't understand me not a bit." "Better than you think, perhaps; and I am terribly sorry you are troubled. Oh, perhaps I know. I was told to-night that your mother had married again. You are unhappy about that?" Maggie immediately dried her fast-falling tears. She felt that she was in danger.
"Promise that you won't say anything till to-morrow." Aneta promised. Maggie went to her room. The girls downstairs wondered why Maggie Howland did not appear. After an hour of waiting Kathleen O'Donnell took the lead.
