If you lost your temper, your manners, your courage, any of your higher qualities, you had "forgotten yourself," forgotten the fine, upright man you were by nature and become for a moment the shadowy ghost of that black unknown self that ever dogs one. "As I have finished, I will ask you to excuse me, little girls," Miss Bibby continued, rising from her seat.
She fancied they were beckoning to her; she heard sweet voices from them throughout that feverish night "Come up higher, Agnes Bibby," they were saying. The interview was the first step along this second path. The story, already promised space for, would be the second.
"Would a towel do if I pinned it on, dear?" Max shook his head. "In the lawning-loom lere's a tail on the curtains," he said, "but it's showd on tight." "Well, ask Paul, ask Anna, ask some one else to look for something for you; but you mustn't come to me, darling, this is Miss Bibby's holiday, you don't want to spoil it for her, do you?" Miss Bibby looked at him beseechingly.
He gave the bottle to Anna on his return, Anna, who had only just come back from the end of the orchard where she had found it necessary to go and ask Blake leisurely for some parsley. She was open-mouthed at what had happened. "Here's the armonia, Miss Bibby," she said, going into the bath-room, "and you're to to pollute it with some water and rub it on hard. Here, will I be doing, Miss Lynn?"
All they could see was the road in front of them, now clear, now filled with flying mist, and their senses were wearied of it. Might they go down the gully? No, they might not go down the gully. Who had time on a busy day like this, and Miss Bibby writing to New Zealand, to go trapesing down all those rough places with them? Couldn't they go alone? No, they could not go alone.
You never feel naughty as long as this, do you, Muffie?" "Never," said Muffie stoutly. "Boys are so different," sighed Miss Bibby. "Well, let us have one more peep before I go," pleaded Kate. They tiptoed round to the verandah window again. But this time there was no sign whatever of the rebel though both doors were still locked on the outside.
"I didn't think you'd mind." "Oh, Lynn!" said Miss Bibby. "But he looked so lonely," said the little girl piteously. Miss Bibby went round at once to the other door and demanded "Trike," though Kate strongly advised against it. "I've quite fin'shed with it," said the rebel sweetly, and dismounted without a struggle. Miss Bibby wheeled it out, somewhat ignominiously.
"Take care of this till I come back, will you, Miss Bibby?" she said, "I'm keeping it for Max." This was a paper boat that Kate had cleverly folded for Lynn while she waited, using a sheet she tore haphazard from a periodical that she had under her arm, part of the morning's post.
"My dear Miss Bibby, am I always to be doing you an injury?" he said. And at that instant there rolled away from Agnes Bibby's soul all the heaviness that had oppressed it, and the sun shone out. Of course, of course there was some mistake, he had never meant to take credit for her work! "Oh," she gasped, "it was a mistake, of course. You you sent them the wrong MS, that is all."
Lomax felt themselves fortunate when Miss Agnes Bibby, with such unquestionable credentials, appeared in answer to their advertisement for some one to take charge of their family during their absence. And now came a letter from Thomas in the city to Agnes at "Greenways": "Dear old Ag. "Here's a chance for you if you can only take it.
