Miss Starbrow missed some jewels she had put on her dressing-table, and on a further search it was discovered that other valuables, and one of her best travelling bags, were also gone.
He had been studying her face, and knew that she was curious to hear what he had to say, and this interest in Miss Starbrow, he thought, was a very new feeling, and rose entirely out of her interest in himself.
"Mother," said Constance, "I think I can guess her motives, which make it painful for her to show the letter, and will explain what I think they are. Fan, dear, will you leave us for a while, and let me tell mother why Miss Starbrow will not take you back?"
Cross, and and oh, yes, Mr. Bell." "Five of your sixteen," said Captain Horton, checking them off on his fingers. "And a Mr. Graves, and a Mr. Sexton, and and of course, I can't remember all the names now. Can you expect it, Miss Starbrow?" "No, of course not; but you have only named seven. If you can remember ten I shall decide in your favour." "Thank you. There was a Mr. Church "
Mr. Starbrow would have nothing sent; the whole fun of the thing, he assured Fan, was in carrying all their purchases home themselves; and so, laden with innumerable small parcels, they would return chatting and laughing like the oldest and best of friends, happy and light-hearted as children. At last one day Mr. Starbrow went back to the old subject.
Arthur took Fan to Exeter one morning to show her the cathedral, and at the same time to pay a visit to an old school-fellow who had a curacy there. Tom Starbrow went with them, and they were absent all day.
She rose and rung the bell sharply, and when the boy in buttons answered it, she ordered him to send Rosie to her. "She's gone," said he. "Gone! what do you mean when did she go?" "Just now, ma'am. She came up to speak to you when you came in, and then she got her box down and went away in a cab." Miss Starbrow then sent for the cook.
Just then the housemaid came up with tea for her mistress. "Get me another cup a large one, and some more bread-and-butter," said Miss Starbrow. "The young person's tea is in the back room, ma'am," returned Rosie, with a tremor in her voice.
"Constance, will you give me your attention?" said her mother, turning to her. "Yes, mother, I am attending." "Miss Starbrow has informed us that Miss Affleck, although of gentle birth on her father's side, was unhappily left to be brought up in a very poor quarter of London, among people of a low class.
Then Miss Starbrow went out, but first she called the maid and told her to remove Fan's bed and toilet requisites out of her room into the back room. Greatly distressed and perplexed at the unkind way she had been spoken to, Fan changed her dress and sat down in the cold back room to do some work.
