We were then not half a mile from the Banlieu, which we passed without adventure, much to my surprise, its inhabitants having taken advantage of the confusion to pour into Paris and infest its richer quarters. The ladies were obliged to get out at the barrier and to send back the cart to its proprietor. Again I had the happiness of supporting Hermione while I carried little Claribel, and Mrs.
Al hesitated between the visible antagonism of the ward and the mystery of the white screen. A vision of Claribel as he had seen her last, swollen with grief and despair, distorted of figure and accusing of voice, held him back. A faint titter of derision went through the room. He turned on Rosie's comfortable back a look of black hate and fury.
"Honey," said Mam Daphne, pausing in her scrubbing as Claribel came into the kitchen for a hot iron, "I'se been studyin' ovah you-all's case right smaht, lately. You'se done had to move out'n de front o' de house, count o' de roof leakin', an' you shet up de west wing, so many windows was broke. Soon you-all will be movin' into de kitchen.
"How's the how's the kid?" after a moment. "I don't know or care." There was nothing strange to Al in this frame of mind. Neither did he know or care. "What are you goin' to do with it?" "Kill it!" Al considered this a moment. Things were bad enough now, without Claribel murdering the child and making things worse. "I wouldn't do that," he said soothingly. "You can put it somewhere, can't you?
Claribel earnestly enquired her meaning, and the cause of the confusion she had heard, and with difficulty, amidst her sobs and moans, gathered what Ursula had herself learned from Gabriel.

Peter took the sketch from her, looked at it for a long moment, and, as briefly as he could, and keeping himself very much in the background, he told her.

There was reason to think that a tress of this same golden hair would lead to her recognition by some grandfather of unknown magnificence, as exactly like that of his long-lost Claribel, and this might result in her assuming splendours that would annihilate the aunt.
Peter stared, and gasped, too. "Miss Claribel!" cried Peter. "Mrs. Hemingway," she corrected, smiling. "It isn't Yes, it is, too! Peter! Oh, that Red Admiral is a fairy!" "It is rather wonderful to turn around and find you here, Peter, and to find you so unchanged. Because you haven't changed, really; you've just grown up," said Mrs. Hemingway, holding his hand. Her face was excited and glad.
"Are you sure you have made them strong enough?" she inquired, anxiously; "it usually takes a great deal to affect me." "My only fear," replied Dr. Daws, "is that I have made them too strong. For this is the first time I have ever been called upon to prepare these wonderful confections." "Don't worry," said Claribel; "the stronger they act the better I shall act myself."
The prospective guest was often discussed during the summer that followed; and, although he never came, Wilma was always alarming the family, when affairs were especially unpropitious, by the query, "What if he should suddenly drop in upon us now?"
