Georgie gathered a great basketful of nasturtiums, heliotrope, and mignonette to carry down to Miss Gisborne, and Marian was sent off in the village-cart with a similar basketful for Mrs. Frewen. The house was all in a confusion of packing. Frederic was wrapping tissue-paper round the picture-frames, Elizabeth counting linen and silver, the gardeners emptying the balcony boxes. Mrs.

Joanna heard her sister gasp. "It's yours, Ellen your new room.
I am not a rich man, but I would give half-a-sovereign to know whether that was thrown by accident or design.
