Since there was so much practising to do, it had been arranged that she should remain there from the night of the sermon until after she was graduated.

"Aye, aye, sir," said the man, and hurried away. While they waited for the cage the quartermaster warned the two Bunker children to remain well back from the struggling bird, for it might get away.
Comte Jean now rejoined us, accompanied by Bordeu and the duc de Richelieu; their countenances were gloomy and dejected.
