This, however, they dared not do, for their mother would not have wished them to desert Leucha. 'Well, I'm glad this day is over, exclaimed that young lady, as she reached her bedroom. 'I shall be glad to get between the sheets and forget that horrid, noisy Jack. 'Ah, will you just? thought Hollyhock, who overheard the word as she turned into her own snug apartment.
'I don't know of any such, interrupted Leucha. 'Then you have a lamentably short memory, Leucha, said Mrs Macintyre, 'or it could not have passed from your mind the weary nights and long days when that brave young girl devoted herself to you. 'You mean that naughty Hollyhock, of course the one who played on me that wicked, wicked joke. A nice school this is, indeed.
'Come, girls, it is time for you to take your supper and be off to bed, said Miss Kent, who observed that Leucha was seated close to the fire in the great sitting-room, shivering not a little, and that Hollyhock, with glowing cheeks and sparkling eyes, had established herself at the far end of the large room, and was relating bogy tales with great rapidity to her ever-increasing host of adorers.
Leucha knew at once that she looked dowdy, and hated Holly all the more for showing herself off, as she expressed it. 'What have you come for? she said. 'I haven't invited you. 'I only thought, Leuchy dear, I 'd like to say good-night, said Holly in her rich, gentle tones. 'Oh, good-night, good-night. But surely you are not going to bed yet? 'Yes, that I am.
'Keep your broken heart, lass, said the Duke. 'I cannot waste time with you now. I'm off for the doctors. Leucha crawled back toward the house, and the Duke went immediately to his own stately palace and telephoned to the cleverest medical men he knew: 'Come at once to Constable's, a place they call The Paddock or the Annex. There's a lass there like to die.
I do pity him so much, so lonesome he is and so sad. But he won't trouble you any more, my little lass, and I 'll sleep beside you this night. 'Who is that coming into the room? said Leucha, as Jasmine appeared on the scene. 'I've heard a great talk about a ghost, said Jasmine. 'Well, cried Hollyhock, 'we had better drop the subject.
She was forced to go to the very bottom of the affair. 'It was a silly trick, girls, said Mrs Macintyre when the tale had come to an end, 'and Hollyhock suffered, because the daughter of the Earl of Crossways very nearly broke her jaw. Well, I 'm here to do my duty. Leucha has had to explain.
Now I fear, I greatly tear, we shall have much trouble with Leucha Villiers; but nothing will induce me to expel Hollyhock. No, my dear little girl; you did wrong, of a certainty, but you are too much loved in this school for us to do without you. Now, Mrs Drummond, do you wish to remove Margaret from the school?
Don't I know that you 'll get the beauteous prize with the Duke's crest on it, in the stones that sparkle and shine? 'Mother would like that well, said Leucha. 'She would be just delighted. 'Then try for your mother's sake, as well as your own. 'And you will help me, Holly? 'To be sure I will. There 's no rule against one girl helping another.
'He does walk, and he's very tall, and has skeleton hands and a skeleton face; and he asked me me to dry his wet hair! 'Oh, do leave us alone now! said Hollyhock. 'Am I not trying to quieten her down, and you disturb everything? 'I must speak to you, Hollyhock; I really must. 'No, no; you mustn't leave me for a minute! cried Leucha. 'You are the only one with courage in the school.
