Finally, however, the ladies did leave Ardshiel, the whole scheme of turning Ardshiel into a school for lads and lasses marked out in Miss Delacour's active mind. The attics would do for the children's cubicles.
Mrs Constable raised her soft gray eyes. 'My dear child, she said, 'didn't you know that your father and I are not going to teach you any more? All the teaching in this place will be at Ardshiel. 'Then how am I to learn? said Hollyhock, in a tone of frightened amazement. 'Naturally, replied Mrs Constable, 'by going to Ardshiel. 'Never! replied the angry girl. 'I 'm not wanted.
Magsie of course knew the story, but Magsie wisely kept these things to herself; and even Mrs Macintyre, the mistress of the school, had not been told the story. On a Monday in the middle of September Ardshiel looked gay of the gay. The sun shone with great brilliancy. The French mesdemoiselles, the Swiss fräuleins, and the gentle Italian signorinas were all present.
Suddenly a wild and naughty idea entered her brain. Nothing, not all the coaxing, not all the petting, not all the language in all the world, would get her to go to Ardshiel as a pupil; but might she not go there now, and peep in at the windows and see for herself what was going on, what awful process was transforming the Flower Girls and the Precious Stones into other and different beings?
'If dad chooses to spend his mornings over horrid arithmetic instead of looking after me, when I 've given up so much for his sake, I'll just run away, that I will; but as to going to Ardshiel, to be crowed over by Magsie, catch me!
'I 'm glad you think so, child. 'Although you are only a governess at that horrid Ardshiel. Mrs Constable was silent. In a very short time Hollyhock had had her bath. She dressed luxuriously by the fire in her bedroom, Aunt Cecilia brushing out her masses of black hair and fastening it back with a large crimson bow.

"The best will be to write me in the care of my chieftain," said he, "Charles Stewart, of Ardshiel, Esquire, at the town of Melons, in the Isle of France.
This greatly delighted the four Flower Girls and the five Precious Stones, and they all started off in the highest spirits to their new school next morning. Oh, was it not fun, glorious fun, to go to Ardshiel and yet be close to mummy and daddy all the time? Their father had specially forbidden his Flower Girls to make any remarks to Hollyhock about her not going with the others to school.
A gentleman, named James Stewart, a natural brother of Ardshiel, the forfeited person, was tried as being accessory to the murder, and condemned and executed upon very doubtful evidence; the heaviest part of which only amounted to the accused person having assisted a nephew of his own, called Allan Breck Stewart, with money to escape after the deed was done.
Now I want you to go back to Ardshiel with the other girls on Monday. 'Oh, oh, auntie! 'No one wishes for you here, child, and you certainly won't get my great piece of news unless you make me that promise. You will be as happy as the day is long at that school. 'They certainly do look happy, said Hollyhock, 'and I should like to see the boy with the blue eyes. 'The boy with the blue eyes'
