She jumped up excitedly, and the boy put a note into her hand.
Her disposition is winnin' and unaffected, but I think it my duty to mention that, on what might appear to others as slight provocation, Miss Keeves is apt to give way to sudden fits of passion, which, however, are of short duration. Doubtless, this is a fault of youth which years and experience will correct." "Rebellious!" commented Mrs Devitt.
