No. 127 Laburnum Road was under the joint partnership of two ladies, Miss Pidsley and Miss Hammond. Miss Pidsley was the chief partner, and took the lead. She interviewed the parents, managed the house, the meals, and almost everything, while Miss Hammond's duties lay more especially with the girls, their lessons and games.
Kitty felt stunned by the unexpectedness and greatness of the trouble, but she realized that she must act, and act quickly. Miss Pidsley and Miss Hammond were gone to an early service at the church, but it never occurred to Kitty to wait for them and consult them.
Don't let him know that you are not able or willing to do what he asks you to." "What has he asked me to do?" cried Kitty, starting up eager to begin then and there. Miss Pidsley held out the letter, and pointed out one particular paragraph. "If you want to help me and I know you will you must be as happy and do as well at school as you possibly can. That will help me more than anything."
There was a moment's silence, then "Come in," said Miss Pidsley in a voice that was not exactly encouraging, for it was that of a person who had reached the limits of her patience. Kitty almost wished she had not come.
"Then let us all try to make it a really happy one now," said Miss Pidsley, and she went away leaving Kitty much comforted. Three days later Dr.
Her new mistress welcomed them at least she shook hands with them and she smiled at least she half closed her eyes in a weary fashion, and widened her lips, but there was no heartiness or gladness in it. But while Kitty felt the chilliness of it, she could not help sympathizing with Miss Pidsley. To her it would have been wonderful if any one had been able to smile in such a house as that.
If I could see him I should know; but here I am in prison, and and I can't know what is happening at home!" and Kitty collapsed on her bed, sobbing pitifully. "Katherine! Katherine! what is the matter, child?" Miss Pidsley, hearing sounds of grief, opened the door and looked in, then she walked in and closed it behind her. "I have had such dreadful news," moaned Kitty.
You see, Miss Hammond goes with us, and and well, we all like her; but Miss Pidsley I don't know why, but I think we never thought of giving her anything. I should be afraid to."
This time, when she knocked, Miss Pidsley really did think she had come for her music lesson, and a little sigh again escaped her, a sigh which turned to an exclamation of real pleasure when she saw what Kitty was bringing her.
Miss Pidsley was not attractive, and she had not a genial manner, and she told herself that nobody cared for her, and that the girls feared and disliked her. And, unfortunately, this feeling, which hurt her cruelly, made her withdraw herself more and more from all but what one might call the business part of the life, and so gave the girls a real reason for feeling towards her as they did.
