Certainly not kind Mrs. Ellsworthy. "Had we not better hear what she says, even though you don't seem quite to like her, Primrose?" asked Jasmine, holding up the sheets. "There are two sheets more, quite full of writing shall I read them aloud to you and Daisy?"
Ellsworthy had called, and had been nicer and sweeter and more charming than ever she had brought Daisy a doll of the most perfect description, and had presented the flower-loving Jasmine with a great bouquet of exotics, which looked almost out of place in the humble little cottage.
The great train, however, moved out of the terminus, and Daisy felt herself whirling away through the night, and then she became conscious of a little sensation of thankfulness. Surely the worst of her journey was over now; surely she and the Pink would be received very kindly and very lovingly by Mrs. Ellsworthy; surely Mrs.
Oh, if only I were well enough to go to Mrs. Ellsworthy, or if only the Prince would come!" Primrose heard Daisy's weak little voice through the thin walls of Hannah's cottage. "Hannah," she said, "I know who Daisy means by the Prince. The Prince is that kind Mr. Noel, who has been helping me to find the little darling.
Ellsworthy, from Shortlands, is down in the drawing-room, and wanting to see you most particular 'bad." Miss Martineau's plans had been full of directness. Having made up her mind, she wasted no precious moments. The girls must be helped; she could only give them counsel, but others could do more. Miss Martineau determined to go at once to the fountainhead.
"Oh, my dear little girl! to think of her being turned away from my very gates." When Miss Egerton at last took her leave Mrs. Ellsworthy felt too much excited to stay quiet; and when her husband came into the room he found her much perturbed. "Joseph," she said, running up to him, "I have such a story for you," and then she once again repeated little Daisy's adventure.
Daisy's little hot hand closed tightly over the money. She did not speak, or even attempt to thank Noel, but her eyes, wider and wider open each moment, were fixed intently on his face. "That is settled, then, Daisy," continued Noel, "and we need not think of Mrs. Ellsworthy just at present, for you do not now need her services.
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."
Ellsworthy kept up her offence for twenty-four hours, then she began to soften, and to agree with her husband, whose solitary remark was, "My dear, you cannot coerce the children, and upon my word it's a plucky notion, and if those girls are brave enough to carry it out they must have real stuff in them."
"You'll bring your sisters to-morrow, Miss Mainwaring," she continued, turning to the grave Primrose. "Thank you yes. It is kind of you to ask us," answered Primrose. Mrs. Ellsworthy drove away in state, and the sisters saw her off from their door-steps.
