The next best thing was to talk to you in this way. You don't know what a relief it has been to me to write these lines." "The night has come, and Mrs. Gallilee's cruelty has at last proved too much even for my endurance. "Try not to be surprised; try not to be alarmed. If my mind to-morrow is the same as my mind to-night, I shall attempt to make my escape. I shall take refuge with Lady Northlake.
Gallilee's face, when she and Carmina looked at each other, reflected in the glass. The girls were waiting for their dinner. Maria received the unpunctual governess with her ready smile, and her appropriate speech. "Dear Miss Minerva, we were really almost getting alarmed about you.

Her answer contained a record of domestic events, during an interval of serious importance in her life under Mrs. Gallilee's roof.
