All this time Otoyo had stood spellbound beside her teapot. Now she started slightly as the glasses glimmered in her direction. "Oh, no, no, no," she cried in real distress. "Don't tell me, please, Mees Kean!"
"Then you will come?" cried Otoyo, with almost as much enthusiasm as she had shown over the coming visit of her honorable father. "But " began Molly. "You will so kindlee go this afternoon?" broke in the voluble little Japanese. "Will four o'clock be an hour of convenience?" "I really don't " began Molly again. "You said 'anything," interrupted Otoyo.
"Will some one kindlee make for me explanation of the word 'jubilee'?" asked Otoyo Sen, seated cross-legged on a cushion in the very center of the group, like an Oriental story-teller. "Jubilee?" said Edith. By an unspoken arrangement, it was always left to her to answer such questions. "Why jubilee means a rejoicing, a celebration."
Otoyo clasped her hands joyfully. "It will be enough for my honorable father to see all the beautiful young American ladees and the buildeengs. He will not require of his humble daughter amusements. He is much grateful to young ladees for kindness to little Otoyo. My honorable father will be thankful to you." "Perhaps you would like us to go with you to the train to meet him?"
In her miniature rain coat and jaunty red felt hat, she looked like a plump little robin hopping into the room. "You are readee?" asked Otoyo. "Why, I never dreamed you would go in the rain!" began Molly, looking up from her writing. Otoyo's face lengthened and the corners of her mouth drooped disconsolately. "Why, bless the child!
Having imparted this information in a loud whisper, Otoyo started upstairs on tiptoe, Molly following. Somehow, she felt quite courageous and not at all afraid of Miss Fern, with the little Japanese to lead her on. All the doors were closed in the corridor above and on the ward room door hung a sign, "No Admittance." "She must be quite ill," whispered Molly.
At that, Judy flung the draperies back from her hair, the glasses to Nance, and her arms about Otoyo, exclaiming at the same moment: "You precious child, I don't know any more than your little Buddha does about your future, but the gods will be good to you and we'll leave it to them."
There is no one so good and so beautiful " "You outrageous little flatterer, you are changing the subject," cried Molly. "With all my honor, I give you assurance that I speak trulee." "You make me very happee, then," laughed Molly, "but what has that got to do with Professor Green?" "Did I say there was any connecting?" asked Otoyo innocently.
It was a regular spitfire she was that day, Miss, and no mistake." So that was why the Professor had wanted the blue paper weight. Perhaps there was some reason in his delirium after all. "Have you seen her, Miss?" asked Mrs. Murphy. "Oh, yes," answered Molly. "I think she is very pretty. May I look at your garden, Mrs. Murphy? Dear little Otoyo, I can see her working out here in the flowers.
Nance and Judy were at the breakfast, too, and Otoyo Sen, and Lawrence Upton who had come over on the trolley from Exmoor. It was, indeed, a meeting of old friends and the genial doctor gave them a gruff and hearty welcome as they gathered in the drawing-room. "Gude morning to you," he said, rubbing his hands and beaming on them from under his shaggy eyebrows.
