That is a bird's nest. See!" "Ooh!" repeated Vesta, imitating his pointing finger with one of her own. "Ness ooh!" "Yes," said Gerhardt, putting her down again. "That was a wren's nest. They have all gone now. They will not come any more." Still further they plodded, he unfolding the simple facts of life, she wondering with the wide wonder of a child.
"Vesta is so delighted with herself to-day," she volunteered by way of diversion. "She got such nice marks in school." "That's good," he replied solemnly. "And she dances beautifully these days. She showed me some of her new dances to-night. You haven't any idea how sweet she looks." "I'm glad of it," he grumbled. "I always wanted her to be perfect in that.
"I have duplicated loans," he said at last, "on the same properties, incurring, I fear, a stigma upon my family and character; as well as the ruin of our fortune." Vesta arose with pale lips and a sinking heart. "Oh, father," she whispered, in a frightened tone, "who knows this terrible secret!"

"I have no desire to confide in a deputy," Brinnaria told him, "or to consider the deputy as my real spiritual father.
"There are two of them, Miss Phoebe and Miss Vesta Blyth. Miss Phoebe is as good as gold, but something of a man-hater. She doesn't think much of the sex in general, but she is a good friend of mine, and she'll be good to you for my sake.
