Five minutes to dress and get out,' and papa told me to put on my clothes and go downstairs, and he ran up to mamma." "Where was she ?" asked Mr.Morris, quickly. She and her maid Blanche were up there. You know, mamma hasn't been well and couldn't sleep, and our room was so noisy that she moved upstairs where it was quiet." Mr.Morris gave a kind of groan. |
