"Can I do anything for you, nursey?" asked Patty. "Of course you can, dear. You can help me to unpick this frock. I am cutting it down to fit Miss Pen. It will make a very neat frock for her, and it seems unfair that dear Miss Tredgold should be at more expense than is necessary." "Why," asked Patty, with a surprised look, "doesn't father pay for the things?" "Mr.
"Well, my dear," cried Lady Honoria, again, "but what are you about now? do you intend to unpick the whole screen?" "How can she tell what she is doing," said Mrs Delvile, with quickness, "if you torment her thus incessantly? I will take you away from her, that she may have a little peace.

"O no, I assure you, it's no invention of mine; I had it from very good authority upon my word.
