"My mother had a dress like this before the last war." "Well, yes," said Fanny smiling, "he will." "And what will he wear?" "Oh, it's a secret. I don't know. But I chose this particular dress because it is so feminine, and it will be the first time he has seen me in the clothes of a woman." "Children, hurry, hurry!" cried the dressmaker, in a frenzy of sympathy. "Minette, get down!"
It contained the following lines: 'The double S are comparing notes, and various rumours are in circulation amongst that set. He put the letter in his pocket, and, turning to Netta, told her to go into the bedroom and take off her own and Minette's bonnet, as they must stay for a little while where they were. 'Not here, papa, said Minette, beginning to cry. 'I don't like this place.
Howel was aware, for the first time for many years, that conscience is not a myth; his smote him. 'Will you stay at home to-day, Howel? asked Netta. 'I will write myself to your mother, if you will. 'Yes, Netta, dear, I will. Now, shall we carry the picture-book to Minette? 'No; you must have your breakfast now, and I will make it. Oh! I am so happy. 'And you do not care for Dancy, Netta?
It was the second evening of Netta's stay with the Joneses, and she had been prevailed upon to go into the drawing-room, where Rowland was added to the usual little party. She was gradually sinking into a state of apparent forgetfulness of those around her, from which it had been so difficult to rouse her since Howel's letter, when Miss Gwynne said, 'I think Minette knows the hymn now, Mr Jones.
Mr Jones did not even hear the entreating appeal of the little girl. He was out of the drawing-room, book in hand, and in Gladys' work-room, almost before the struggling Minette was released from her uncle's arms, and forcibly caught by Miss Gwynne.

'I can't go home without Gladys! persisted Netta, casting wild, beseeching glances from one to the other of the friends who stood round her. 'She shall go with you, Netta, decidedly, said Miss Gwynne. 'It will be much the best plan. 'Gladys, you will come with us? said Minette, throwing her arm round her neck, as she knelt by her mother.
I did not wait for more, but like one flying from some dreaded enemy I rushed through the garden, and gained the road, my heart torn with many a conflicting thought; the bitterest of all being the memory of Minette, the orphan girl, who alone of all the world cared for me.
Mary's color flamed up instantly. "If you do, sir; if you do " and then stopped. "Something terrible will come of it, eh. Well, it was not fair." "It was quite fair, Cuthbert. It will always be a painful recollection to me, and I hope a lesson too." "It will not be a painful recollection to me," he laughed. "I think I owe Minette a debt of gratitude.
