When the girls went in, Beth was summoned to the big music-room. "Old Tom" was there with Dr. Centry, who came twice a week to hear the girls play.
The cousin carried Edgar back to Centry with him; the boy seemed too unhappy not to be restless, and as if he were ready to do anything to leave his misery behind him. The others remained with their preparations, and with such consolation as the exceeding sympathy and kindness of the whole town could afford them.
'Let me keep her for Christmas Day. And for Christmas Day he did keep her, though at the bottom of Alda's heart there were strong hopes of invitations to join the festivities at Centry Underwood. Indeed, such a party was insisted on by Marilda, one that was to include all the little ones, and make them happier than ever they had been in their lives. It was to be on Twelfth Day, but Mrs.
Thomas Underwood had not far to seek for a plea for avoiding Centry.
'No party, my dear, replied the Rector, 'only a little fresh air for the family a day in Centry Park. Felix spends his birthday present from his godfather in taking them. Ah!

'Oh, bother the practice!

It is so nice to have a secret of yours and this is a beauty! Why, you'll be a great man with a house in London, just like Mr. Underwood of Centry.
'Most concerned? Felix looked up surprised, then recollected himself. 'I don't care, he said, with an appearance of gruff sullenness; but his father could not content himself without continuing in a semi-teazing tone, 'Don't care eh?
