The lady of the caravan was in the act of gathering her tea equipage together preparatory to clearing the table, but noting the child's anxious manner she hesitated and stopped.

Then she curtseyed low, and walked out on to the landing-place. "Clara," she cried, "I'm waiting for you, sixpence a quarter of an hour, remember that."
