It's all right.

I told her I was a great deal stronger than you, that I was used to washing, and you were not, and that it made your side ache; so she consented to have us exchange, and after this you are to dust for me, and I am to wash for you." Ida disliked washing so much, that she raised no very strong objections to Mary's plan, and then when she found how great a kindness had really been shown her, she tried hard to think of some way in which to repay it.

At last, George Moreland, to whom she had written upon the subject, suggested something which met her views exactly.

Both Ida and her aunt had told George about Mary, and without hinting that he knew her, he immediately commenced making minute inquiries concerning her, of Ida, who communicated them to Mary, wondering why she always blushed so deeply, and tried to change the conversation.

In reply to the letter in which Ida had told him of Mary's kindness, George wrote, "You say Miss Howard is very fond of music, and that there is no teacher connected with the institution.
Now why not give her lessons yourself?
You can do it as well as not, and it will be a good way of showing your gratitude." Without waiting to read farther, Ida ran in quest of Mary, to whom she told what George had written.
