"I don't want to say it a bit," she grumbled. "Come forward, my dear; come forward." Kitty left the protection of her desk, and staggered across the room. Miss Worrick had mounted a little platform, all the other teachers stood waiting, and the girls waited also. Kitty looked round, the eyes in each face seemed multiplied fourfold the room seemed to be all eyes.
She said you pleaded hard that she would excuse you, not liking to take the punishment which you richly deserved; but Miss Worrick, very justly insisted on her word being obeyed. What then, was her astonishment to see you in the playground walking calmly up and down with Gwin Harley." "Yes, dear; and what else could you expect?" answered Kitty. "What else could I expect? I don't understand."
She did not glance at Elma; she was looking the other way. "Leave us, girls," said Miss Worrick. The next moment the great classroom was empty, with the exception of Miss Worrick and Kitty Malone. Kitty was standing upright as a dart. "Take me to Miss Sherrard; I want to speak to her," she said. "I am certainly going to take you to her. You are a very, very wicked girl.
Miss Worrick now stood up and made as much as she possibly could of poor Kitty's little escapade in front of the "Spotted Leopard." The story so described made anything but a pleasant picture. Miss Sherrard who was tenacious with regard to the school, and most anxious that each and all of her girls should bear the highest character for quiet and orderly behavior, was deeply annoyed.
Just at the moment when its last note echoed through the vast school Miss Worrick came a step forward into the room, and held up her hand to arrest the movement of the classes. She looked at Kitty with an expectant expression. Kitty returned her gaze, and said nothing. Kitty Malone felt glued to her seat.
Miss Worrick with a wave of her hand dismissed the rest of the girls. Kitty bent her head low down upon the desk before her, and sobbed louder and louder. At last she felt a hand resting lightly on her shoulder. "I know I did it dreadfully, Miss Worrick," she said; "but it was so bad. Why did you make me, why did you make me?"
My dear you must bow to my authority you are to speak to no girl in the school. I trust to your honor to obey me in this particular. If you are expelled and it will certainly happen if I find that you are not keeping your word you will be branded for life." After parting with Kitty, Miss Sherrard went back to the school. As she did so, she said a few words to Miss Worrick.
"I am, and I have a very, very painful tale to tell you." "You shall tell me your story afterward." Here the owner of Castle Malone caught sight of Miss Worrick, and gave her a bow even more deferential than he had bestowed upon the head-mistress. "I am sorry to put you off even for a few moments, ladies," he said; "but you see this little girl, she she must come first.
"Ah, you are right," cried Kitty, standing still, and a queer change coming over her face. "Our honor no one ever touched that yet." "It will have a nice blow when you are dismissed from Middleton School," said Miss Worrick, glad to find a point in Kitty's hitherto invulnerable armor. "Come with me at once, you bad girl. I must explain your conduct to Miss Sherrard."
"Oh, it's about Charles the First." "Poor martyr! Shame to England to cut off his head!" Kitty bent over her book, but soon her erratic fancy had started off in another direction. She was sent to the bottom of the class when the history lesson came on, and was looked at with growing disfavor by Miss Worrick, a particularly painstaking and earnest young teacher.
