To Rose's question as to their need of assistance, she replied frigidly, that they had two servants now, and did not wish to employ any more help. Rose colored, bit her lip, then said with an open smile: "You are under mistake. I am Miss Lacey, and helped your daughter the first two days after she came." "Oh! ah! Miss Lacey.
