"We must have gone fishing together at least a dozen times," said Frank, quietly. "How in the world did the fellow thrust himself in here?" said Victor to himself. "They can't know his low position." In the amiable desire of enlightening the Vivians Victor took an early opportunity to draw Fred aside. "Have you known Frank Kavanagh long?" he asked. "Not very long."
It came out in my conversation it came out awfully. My mother was a good deal disappointed in Mrs. Vivian's influence; she had expected so much from it. But it was not poor Mrs. Vivian's fault, it was some one's else. Have you ever seen the Vivians again? They are always in Europe; they have gone to live in Paris.
School-work was in full swing that day; and Susie, Margaret, Olive, and the other members of the Specialities rather envied the Vivians when they saw them driving away in Mrs. Haddo's most elegant landau to the railway station. Sibyl Ray openly expressed her sentiments on the occasion. She turned to her companion, who was standing near.
Even Dickie had forsaken it, and the different caterpillars were all buried in their chrysalis state. Martha quickly left the Vivians' attic. She wandered restlessly and miserably through the lower school, and visited the room where she had slept, or tried to sleep, the night before. Nowhere could she find them. Meanwhile Sylvia and Hester had done a very bold deed.
"When shall I become a Speciality?" whispered Sibyl. "Don't whisper, child! The Vivians' room is next to mine. Sibyl, we must keep this a most profound secret, I am awfully obliged to you! You have been very clever and prompt. I don't wish to ask any questions at all. Thank you, Sibyl, from my heart. I will certainly keep my promise, and at the next meeting will propose you as a member.
There's Sylvia's plot, and Hester's, and mine; and we have a plant of heather, straight from Craigie Muir, in the midst of each. Our gardens are quite bare except for that tiny plant. Do, do come and see it!" Margaret laughed. Olive said, "Oh, what fun!" and the three began to walk quickly under the trees in the direction of the Vivians' gardens.
The Vivians did not know Sibyl very well, and had not the least idea that she guessed their secret. She rather avoided glancing at them, and was very shy and retiring, and stole up close to the farmer when the dogs were admitted. But Dan and Beersheba knew what was expected of them.
"The girls will follow us." This, however, turned out not to be the case. Susie, the Bertrams, Margaret Grant, Olive Repton, waited for the Vivians in every imaginable spot where they it likely the newcomers would be.
It seems the Duke here had to get it sent over by some of the secret agents the French Protestants have in England, and what do they do but send it to one of the Vivians in Cornwall; and it was handed about among them for how long I cannot say, till there was a chance of sending it up to my Lord of Warwick; and he, being able to make nothing if it, shows it to his nephew, Philip Sidney, who, perceiving at once whom it concerned, sends it straight to my Lord, with a handsome letter hoping that it brought good tidings.
But for you Vivians we'd be toiling away at our lessons now instead of allowing our minds to cool down." "Do minds get as hot as all that?" asked Hester. "Very often, indeed, at this school," said Olive with a chuckle. "Well, I, for one, shall be delighted to go out," said Betty.
