What a foolish mother she must have, while it seemed that her father was far more sensible. Mrs. Barrington stood on the porch as they returned. She detained Lilian with a wave of the hand. When Miss Nevins was out of hearing she said in an approving tone "I am glad to see you take an interest in that poor child. Miss Davis thinks her lamentably ignorant.
