The bank at Rosebury was only a branch office of a large establishment in the nearest town. It happened that that morning Mr. Danesfield was particularly busy, and anxious to get away to the large bank at an early hour. For more reasons than one, therefore he felt annoyed at Primrose's visit.
"Oh, fie, Dove! you will have your joke," answered his wife; but she said nothing further about giving the Mainwarings notice to quit. Mr. Danesfield always forwarded the girls' allowance in such a way that Primrose could easily obtain it he did not trouble her with cheques or bank notes, but sent a money-order, which she could cash at the nearest post-office.
Jasmine was looking excited, and there were red rings round her eyes as if she had been crying, and yet at the same time those bright eyes of hers were shining, and her lips were quivering between smiles and tears. "Oh, you have come!" she exclaimed; "Primrose is in the village she has gone to Mr. Danesfield about our money. Please come into the drawing-room.
She was much comforted, however, by the reflection that there remained a large sum to their credit in the bank. Primrose found her faith shaken in the capacities of an income of thirty pounds a year; but a sum total of two hundred pounds she still believed to be almost inexhaustible. She resolved to go and consult Mr. Danesfield on the morrow. Mr.
Danesfield been disagreeable to you? Well, I know our darling Mrs. Ellsworthy won't. Tell her our plan quickly. Primrose, she says you don't love her tell her you do love her. Oh, she is sweet and dear and kind tell her our plan she won't throw cold water on what we wish to do she won't think it wrong that we three girls should wish to keep together."
She had never looked sweeter or more independent than at this moment, when, for the first time in her young life, she was about to ask for help. Mr. Danesfield was not so busy this morning, and he saw his young visitor without delay. "Sit down, my dear," he said; "I am very pleased to see you. You want to ask for my advice? I will give it with the greatest pleasure."
You have never opened it and you can't see inside." "I've never opened it, certainly," said Primrose, "but from a hint Mr. Danesfield gave me on the last day I saw him, I believe there are three five-pound notes in the letter. Of course I am not sure, but I am nearly sure." "Well, let us get the letter and open it," said Jasmine, "and then our minds will be at rest.
So it was arranged, and the three girls might fairly have been said to commence their work. When Primrose had gone to Mr. Danesfield and asked him to allow her to draw their little capital out of his bank, he had made wonderfully few objections.
