The porter was on his knees, looking under the berth. "Not there, sir," he said, dusting his knees. He was visibly more cheerful, having been absolved of responsibility.

"I don't want a governess," said Mary sharply. "But mother says you ought to be learnin' your book by this time an' you ought to have a woman to look after you, an' she says: 'Now, Martha, you just think how you'd feel yourself, in a big place like that, wanderin' about all alone, an' no mother.
