Vawse," said Ellen, anxiously, when the last one was folded up and laid on the table, "what do you think?" "I think, my child, you must go," said the old lady, steadily. Ellen looked keenly, as if to find some other answer in her face; her own changing more and more for a minute, till she sunk it in her hands. "Cela vous donne beaucoup de chagrin je le vois bien," said the old lady, tenderly.
Vawse, if I could get word to her," said Miss Fortune; "but I can never travel up that mountain. If I get a sight of Nancy, I'll tell her." "There she is, then," said Mr. Van Brunt, looking towards the little window that opened into the shed. And there, indeed, was the face of Miss Nancy pressed flat against the glass, peering into the room! Miss Fortune beckoned to her.
Ellen could not rest satisfied till she had equalled Alice's patching and darning; and though when Mrs. Vawse left her she had not quite reached that point, she was bidding fair to do so in a little while. In other things she was more at home. She could skim milk well enough, and immediately began to do it for Margery.
Of them all, she has none left but the orphan daughter of her youngest son, and you know a little what sort of a child that is." "She must be a very bad girl," said Ellen; "you can't think what stories she told me about her grandmother." "Poor Nancy!" said Alice. "Mrs. Vawse has no money nor property of any kind, except what is in her house; but there is not a more independent woman breathing.
In case circumstances would permit it, Mrs. Gillespie engaged to keep Ellen with her, and bring her home to America when she herself should return. And in little more than a month they were gone; adieus and preparations and all were over. Ellen's parting with Mrs. Vawse was very tender and very sad; with Mr.

"Thank you, Miss Fortune," said Alice, smiling; "I shall tell Mrs. Vawse who it comes from. Now, my dear, let's be off; we have a long walk before us." Ellen was quite ready to be off.
Margery could only throw down her holder to return most affectionately as well as respectfully Ellen's caress, and press a very hearty kiss upon her forehead. Ellen next went to Mrs. Vawse, to beg her help in the mending and patching line. Her old friend was very glad to see her take up anything with interest, and readily agreed to do her best in the matter.
Van Brunt, laughing, "I asked her to give me a kiss this forenoon, and if I'd been an owl she couldn't ha' been more scared; she went off like a streak, and Miss Fortune said she was as mad as she could be, and that's the last of her." "How did you find her out?" "I met that mischievous Vawse girl, and I made her tell me; she had no mind to at first.
Vawse, and then I shall come back if they will let me." "Whom do you mean by 'they? " "Mr. Humphreys and Mr. John."
