'And yet it would be hard to explain that. I've been wanting to see you, Mr.
Bywank, said the young man, 'those few things are all around her. 'You'd think so if you could hear the serenades I hear, said the housekeeper, 'and see the flowers and hear the compliments. She tells them to me sometimes, making fun. But the trouble is with Miss Wych, she never will see the world with any eyes but her own, and who's to make her?
'Miss Hazel, I should prefer that when such princesses are in the parlour, Cinderella should keep to her kitchen. It is the court end in such a case. Kitty Fisher's name brought up visions. Hazel was silent. 'Do you ever hear from Chickaree? her guardian asked presently. 'No one to write, sir, but Mrs. Bywank, and she, you know, is not a scribe. I understand that the kitten is well.

She came on along the passage singing; trilling out the gay little lullaby by virtue of which Mrs. Bywank had long ago earned her name. 'Byo, bye! baby bye! Byo, bye, little baby!
