A very pleasant evening it was, spite of this new element; which was got rid of as much as possible by means of the window recess, where Janetta and David encamped composedly, a little aloof from the rest. "I hope they don't mind me," said Mr.
She went to bed and to sleep, therefore, quite peacefully, and slept like a child until morning, while Wyvis Brand was frantically pacing up and down his old hall for the greater part of the night, and Janetta was wetting her pillow with silent tears, and Philip Ashley, sleepless like these others, vainly tried to forget his disappointment in the perusal of certain blue-books.
"But I don't know, Miss Polehampton, what you want me to do," she said, more nervously than usual. "I can't give up Janetta; I can't possibly avoid speaking to her, you know, even if I wanted to " "I desire nothing of the sort, Margaret. Be kind and polite to her, as usual.
The gentleman on the chair was offering him something Janetta could not at first see what and the boy was vehemently resisting. "I won't have it! I won't have it!" he was crying, with the whole force of his lungs. "I won't touch it! Take the nasty stuff away!" Janetta wondered whether it were medicine he was refusing, and why his father did not insist upon obedience.
"No, nor I. But she says that she has so much to do." "Then it could not be true that she had no pupils, as she told Sir Philip," said Lady Caroline, looking at her daughter.

"On that condition we can be friends," said Janetta, smiling and tendering her hand. She meant to say good-bye, but he retained the little hand in his own and went on talking. "How about the boy? You'll take him for a few hours every day?"
I don't think my promises will be hard to keep!" But even Janetta, in her wisdom, could not foresee what was yet to come. It was with a beating heart that Janetta, a few days later, crossed once more the threshold of her cousin's house. Her father's words about Mrs.
The charity orphan was within hearing and had gone to the door: it was she who presently flung open the door and announced, in awe-stricken tones "Sir Philip Hashley." Janetta rose in some consternation. What did this visit portend? Had he also come to reproach her for her conduct to Margaret and Wyvis?
The old lady's dignified manner did not daunt her as Lady Caroline's caressing tones often did. There was a sincerity, a grave gentleness in Lady Ashley's way of speaking which Janetta thoroughly appreciated. "Lady Ashley is a true grande dame, while Lady Caroline is only a fine lady," she said to herself, when analyzing her feelings afterwards. "And I know which I like best."
And when he had seen her, he had to hear from Janetta the story of that terrible night. She felt that it was wise to trust Dr. Burroughs entirely, and she told him, in outline, the whole story of Mrs.
