[Cast Adrift by T. S. Arthur]@TWC D-Link bookCast Adrift CHAPTER XV 8/14
I'll come round here at half-past two, and go with you.
I want to see the young lady.
They'll let me come into the school and learn to sew, won't they ?" "I don't know; you're too big, and you don't want to learn." "How do you know I don't ?" "Because I do." Pinky laughed, and then said, "You'll wait for me ?" "Yes, if mother says so." "All right;" and Pinky hurried away to take measures for hiding the baby from a search that she felt almost sure was about being made.
The first thing she did was to soundly abuse the woman in whose care she had placed the hapless child for her neglect and ill treatment, both of which were too manifest, and then to send her away under the new aspect of affairs she did not mean to trust this woman, nor indeed to trust anybody who knew anything of the inquiries which had been made about the child.
A new nurse must be found, and she must live as far away from the old locality as possible.
