Alice felt that she had only approached the extreme edge of Miss Ravenscroft's nature. Miss Ravenscroft was silent for a minute; then she said gently: "And your friend, Kathleen O'Hara? I wrote to her also. Why isn't she here?" "I am very sorry indeed," said Alice; "it isn't my fault." "We won't talk of faults, if you please, Alice Tennant. I asked you why your friend isn't here."
I don't think she would willingly do anything to annoy you." "Well, I will see what I can do. She is a wayward child. I am sorry that Miss Ravenscroft expects her to go to see her to-day, as she is so devoted to her aunt and would enjoy seeing her." Mrs. Tennant left the room, and Alice went steadily on with her preparations. She wondered why her mother did not come back.
"We must get the ringleader into custody, so to speak, and either bind her over to break up the society, and so keep the peace, or expel her from the school." "She is a difficult girl to deal with," said Miss Ravenscroft. "She has a great deal that is good in her; she is handsome and rich, very affectionate, and full of spirit."

So the whole thing was settled; mother has been corresponding with Mrs. O'Hara, and Kathleen comes to-day. I really can't stay another moment, Mary. I must rush home; there are no end of things to be attended to." "All right," said Mary.
She for a short time belonged to the rebels, as I must call the Wild Irish Girls, but she saw the folly of her conduct and left them. She could tell us all about them if she liked, and help us to bring the insurrection to an end." "Then that is capital," said Miss Mackenzie in a tone of enjoyment. "Have the girl summoned, please, Miss Ravenscroft."
She forgot the dull school and the dreadfully dreary house where she now lived; she absolutely forgot that such a person as Miss Ravenscroft existed; she ceased almost to remember the Society of the Wild Irish Girls. Was she not Kathleen O'Hara, the only daughter of the House of O'Hara, the heiress of her beloved father's old castle?
You will have to speak out the truth to Miss Ravenscroft, Kathleen, and no mistake about it." "Thank you," replied Kathleen. "I think I can manage my own affairs," she added, and then she was silent, not exactly cross, but lost in thought. The girls reached the school without any further adventure.
But it is essential that the name of the ringleader, as well as her rules and her motives, should be declared." Miss Ravenscroft paused again and looked down the whole length of the long hall.
