"Sister Grizzel must give you some medicine. I wonder what would be the best. Tansy tea is an excellent thing when one has taken cold, or " But the rest of Miss Tabitha's sentence was never heard, for at this moment Miss Grizzel came hurriedly into the room her cap awry, her shawl disarranged, her face very pale. I hardly think any one had ever seen her so discomposed before.
She had intended to say, "pay all expenses," but before the words were spoken that might raise Tabitha's hopes again, she remembered that she must not tell this part of her father's plans, and was silent. But apparently Tabitha had not heard, for she was saying,
And that this Aunt Rennie, as Tabitha would call her, without a word of warning, should send her one of those hideous things, as if it was her business to arrange for Tabitha's exercise I do think it was rather uncalled for.
"Matilda Stebbins and Comfort Pease, stand out on the floor," said Miss Tabitha Hanks, sharply. Comfort gave a great jump the teacher had been standing at the blackboard with her back toward them, and how had she seen? Never after that did Comfort feel quite safe from Miss Tabitha's eyes; even if they were on the other side of the wall she could not quite trust it.
Purposely the teacher had left Tabitha's part in the exercises well toward the last, knowing that she could be depended upon to make a fitting climax for the afternoon's program, nor was she disappointed; and she fairly beamed upon the little girl as she gently pushed her toward the front of the platform to respond to her encore.

I knew, my dear friend, that a word to you was enough, for Tabitha's sake: and so we will settle it between us." I said little in reply, for I was suffering keenly.
After Menzi had looked quite a long while, once more he saluted as though in farewell, searching the faces of the three white people, especially Tabitha's, with his dreamy eyes and, letting them fall, searching the ground also. Near to where he stood grew a number of veld flowers, such as appear in their glory after the rains in Africa. Among these was a rare and beautiful white lily.
As this inspiration flashed through the young teacher's mind, she saw a way out of the dilemma so that neither child nor school should be ridiculed because of Tabitha's mistake; and she hurriedly completed the small girl's "war times toilette" so that when Tabitha emerged from under her skillful hands she was the admiration and envy of all her mates.
He was inquiring for herself. 'I thought I saw Lady Constantine walk this way, he rejoined to Tabitha's negative. 'I am very anxious indeed to meet with her. She went forward. 'I am here, she said. 'Don't stop playing, Miss Lark. What is it, Mr. Torkingham? Tabitha thereupon resumed her playing, and Mr. Torkingham joined Lady Constantine.
