Although Miss Sherrard does not know any of the rules of the Tug-of-war Society, she naturally knows that we have formed it. She told me that she could not express how pleased she was at our having asked Kitty to become a member. Girls, I wish I could speak to Miss Sherrard. I think I will. It will break Kitty's heart to be kept in Coventry for a week." "I doubt if she has a heart," said Alice.
"When the servant appeared, she desired her to bring Elma immediately into her presence. A moment later the young girl entered the room. She gave a wild and frightened glance first at her aunt, then at Miss Sherrard, then stepping forward, fell on her knees. "Has Kitty told you?" she gasped. "Yes, Elma. Get up; you cannot kneel to me." "Rise this minute you wicked girl!" said Mrs. Steward.
"Oh, Miss Sherrard! I cannot approve of your very lax opinions. Surely punishment for such terrible wrong-doing " "Yes, she behaved badly, but not so badly as Elma, I think we must wait to hear the whole story explained; at present we are more or less in the dark."
After a while we called him up again. "Bethlehem! Bethlehem!" "Here, Lieutenant Sherrard, R.E. What's up?" "Here, Winburg. What's the news?" "That you are a lot of fools for keeping on fighting and murdering your men!" came the sharp reply. "Oh, kindly allow us to know our own business best. You'll find some method in our folly." "Maybe. How did you like the little bits o' lyddite yesterday?"
Yes, I know perfectly well what I am going to Harley Grove for. Gwin is full of sympathy for Kitty; so is Bessie Challoner. Romantic and silly they both are; but Alice at least will be on my side. I will oppose the petition which the Tug-of-war girls intend to send to Miss Sherrard. Kitty must not be set at liberty until I can return her the money. Carrie has it, beyond doubt.
My dear you must bow to my authority you are to speak to no girl in the school. I trust to your honor to obey me in this particular. If you are expelled and it will certainly happen if I find that you are not keeping your word you will be branded for life." After parting with Kitty, Miss Sherrard went back to the school. As she did so, she said a few words to Miss Worrick.
"After I have seen your head-mistress, Miss Sherrard." "Do you want to see Miss Sherrard?" asked Elma, a note of alarm in her voice. "Certainly; and I am going immediately to the school. You will not be admitted into the admirable school in Germany without a testimonial from your present teacher; and I am going to Miss Sherrard in order to secure one.
We have only one other member of the Tug-of-war except poor Kitty herself, and she, I am afraid, cannot come, as she is ill with a bad cold. Well, I shall see Miss Sherrard alone and must take my chance." "Yes, if you please; that would be much the best plan," said Jessie, sinking down into her seat with a sigh of relief. Soon afterward the little party at Gwin Harley's house separated.
"Why, then I see at a glance that you have the kind heart," she said; "you thought to keep it in, but I saw it breaking out just then. You'll let me tell my own story, won't you?" "That seems fair enough," said Miss Sherrard. She seated herself as she spoke on one of the bare, comfortless chairs, and looked full up at Kitty. Kitty was dressed according to Rule IV. of the Tug-of-war Society.
But look here, Alice, if the petition is not to be sent to Miss Sherrard, we must try and have a majority on our side. Why should we not secure Matilda and Jessie Forbes?" "I never thought of that," said Alice; "but really, Elma, now I come to consider it, as far as I personally am concerned, I don't much care. It matters very little to me whether Kitty gets out of Coventry or not.
