Mona, to do her justice, had not, since the day on which she had been so ignominiously defeated about the Hollowmell scheme, troubled Minnie with any of her ordinary most provoking remarks; she held aloof, it is true, in a way which many considered to bode no good to their future peace when she would once more be at liberty to resume her attacks.
You see my penetration was not at fault I said it was revival meetings or something of that sort." Minnie turned, and with a firm step and fast beating heart walked back into the schoolroom. Mona did not seem to notice her but went on. "Yes, isn't it fun! Quite a romance I'm sure! A sort of juvenile Mrs. Fry or some person of that stamp, converting the heathen down in Hollowmell."
She flew upstairs again, and hastily threw a large shawl round her, insisting at the same time on Mabel enveloping herself in another of similar magnitude, and in about three minutes, the two girls were down in the hall, where they found Charlie awaiting them. They set off at once, walking rapidly, towards Hollowmell, and only stopping for a few minutes, while Charlie left a message at Dr.
Minnie's first impulse was to tear down the obnoxious notice and burn it before them all, but fortunately her better sense prevailed, and after a momentary struggle with her angry feelings, and also with her keen personal distress, she looked up and read it aloud, omitting the objectionable parenthesis, and said with a smile to those who were in the secret: "It is a very good joke, I daresay, so we'll make it a true one," and then, with their permission, she told all about their proposed plan, and how Mona had laughed at it, and ended by inviting them all to attend the meeting advertised from so unexpected a quarter, in the Hollowmell Hall.
Minnie was everywhere at once, and yet was in constant request. The girls had begged and been granted a holiday that their preparations might be as complete as possible, and their unfailing allies the children of Hollowmell were at hand to render them every possible sort of help. Next morning Minnie was flying round, "more like a bird than a human being," as her father observed.
She was pondering over the spectacle of a soul entering into that peace from which she felt herself by some mysterious means shut out. Next morning Minnie was down at Hollowmell before any one in that region was stirring. She had carried down with her a basket filled with provisions, feeling sure that under the sorrowful circumstances it would be required. She found, as she had expected, that Mrs.
"Well, be thankful it is so," advised Mabel. "And now I'm off. Good-bye." That evening Minnie, seizing a favourable moment when the boys were all out, and she and her father alone, unfolded to him her scheme for the reformation of Hollowmell. He was, of course, greatly surprised, and at first very reluctant to allow his daughter to go among these people, even for the purpose she had at heart.
It was a large paper, and had notice printed in large capitals on the top. Beneath was written in Mona Cameron's beautiful writing the following advertisement: "A meeting of Christian friends favourable to the above scheme will be held in Hollowmell Hall, on the evening of Wednesday, the 22nd inst.
Minnie looked distressed, but Archie did not notice it in his astonishment and eagerness to know more about this mysterious proceeding. "Is it true, Minnie?" he demanded. "Seymour, who told you that? I declare I don't believe a word of it." "Edward Laurence told me," replied Seymour, without looking up. "His mother was down there at Hollowmell yesterday, and came home full of it.
