He too was engaged to dine out that night, but he did not go. Hannah, Mrs. Ellsworthy, and he had a long conference, which lasted until late in the evening, and when Mr. Ellsworthy joined them he was told a very wonderful story. Hannah returned to Devonshire on the following morning very well pleased with her successful expedition.
Poppy, in her dazzlingly brilliant hat, and with her cheeks quite flaming with excitement, stepped into the carriage, and drove away, facing Mrs. Ellsworthy and Jasmine, to the great scandal of the footman, who was obliged, sorely against his will, to assist her to her place. Mrs.
Ellsworthy; "you must have forgotten your own very poor days, or you would not speak so warmly for adversity." "I don't quite forget them," said Arthur, a cloud coming over his face, which was a particularly bright one. "I have a dim memory about them, and a very, very dim memory about a mother and an old nurse, who loved me very much.
Ellsworthy was friendly, and she asked us to come and see her at Shortlands; and we are going. Miss Martineau, I am so very busy this afternoon; will you forgive me if I run away?" Primrose left the room, and Miss Martineau, turning to Jasmine, clasped her hands in some excitement.
She pronounced this extravagant, and wondered if they could possibly get a cheaper dwelling. Then there were Hannah's wages.

We will not say any more on this subject at present.
Ellsworthy was doomed to disappointment. The next day brought no answer from the Mainwaring girls. The good little lady bore her suspense as best she could until noon, then she ordered her carriage and drove into the village. Jasmine herself opened the cottage door for her.
Finally, Jasmine and Poppy both returned to their respective homes, tired, but wonderfully happy little girls. Mrs. Ellsworthy also laid her head that night on her pillow with a wonderful sense of satisfaction. "Even if they do not come to me although they must come," she soliloquized, "I am glad I shall all my life be glad that I gave Jasmine a happy day."
"Oh yes, do tell us," they both answered; but Jasmine added, "It will not be of the slightest use, for we have made our own." "Well, dear, plans of girls as young as you are made to be altered. Now listen to my scheme. "Mr. Ellsworthy writes for the papers and for one or two magazines.
