CHAPTER VII.
Mrs.Mitchell is Defeated After this talk with my father I fell into a sleep of perfect contentment, and never thought of what might be on the morrow till the morrow came.

Then I grew aware of the danger I was in of being carried off once more to school.

Indeed, except my father interfered, the thing was almost inevitable.

I thought he would protect me, but I had no assurance.

He was gone again, for, as I have mentioned already, he was given to going out early in the mornings.
