Oh, Kate, won't you see if you can't possibly get that man to hire another teacher ?" "Why, Nancy Ellen--" said Kate.
Nancy Ellen, with a twitching face, looked at Kate.
"If Robert has to wait months, there in Hartley, handsome as he is, and he has to be nice to everybody to get practice, and you know how those Hartley girls are--" "Yes, Nancy Ellen, I know," said Kate.

"I'll see what I can do.

Is it understood that if I give up the school and come back and take ours, Father will let me come home ?" "Yes, oh, yes!" cried Nancy Ellen.
"Well, nothing goes on guess-work.

I'll hear him say it, myself," said Kate.
She climbed from the buggy.

Nancy Ellen caught her arm.
"Don't go in there! Don't you go there," she cried.
