She wanted to talk to Hannah about her mother's letter; she half took it out of her pocket, then she restrained herself. "Another time," she whispered to herself. Aloud she said "Hannah, Mrs. Ellsworthy and Miss Martineau hinted to me what Mr. Danesfield said plainly to-day we three girls have not got money enough to live on."
Flint and her three lady boarders in a state of considerable excitement and so deeply interested in what was about to occur that they forgot to grumble at each other. Hannah Martin had come up with her young ladies to London, and she also was invited by Mrs. Ellsworthy to come to her house.
Well, I trust your plan will succeed they are nice girls, and I like to feel I am doing a kindness to poor Mainwaring's daughters. I shall be very pleased indeed if they make your life any happier, Kate." Mrs. Ellsworthy stooped down and kissed her husband's brow she was all impatience for the morning to arrive, for surely early then would come an answer to the letter she had written. But Mrs.

"Oh, Poppy!" she said, "how very, very happy I am." Mrs. Ellsworthy had by no means forgotten the girls they had all three taken her fancy, and, as she said to her husband, she could not get them out of her head.
Daisy's future we none of us can talk about, but I have no doubt she also has her special gift. "Now, Jasmine, what a long, long lecture I am giving you, only the sum and substance of it all is, dear, that I want to protect you, and Mrs. Ellsworthy is willing and anxious to advance a sufficient sum of money to have you all properly educated.
