Accept it she must; find the ten pounds she must; and once again she thought with a feeling of satisfaction of Mr.
Danesfield's letter, and felt glad that she had been able to pay Dr.
Jones's bill without breaking into its contents.
She went upstairs, and instantly told Jasmine of the proposed change.
"But we can't do it," said Jasmine; "you know that we have not ten pounds to spare." "I think," said Primrose, "that perhaps the time has come when we should open that letter Mr.Danesfield put into my hand the morning we left Rosebury.

You know, Jasmine, how we determined to keep it, and return it to him unopened some day if we possibly could; but we also resolved to use it if a time of necessity really came--we resolved not to be proud about this.

You know, Jasmine, it has come over me more than once lately that I have been headstrong in coming to London, only I could not endure being dependent on any one." "Of course you could not, darling," said Jasmine.

"I am certain you have done right; of course we are rather depressed now with difficulties, but I think yours was a grand plan.

I have a kind of feeling, Primrose, that our worst days are over; I think it more than probable you will have a great run on your china-painting bye-and-bye, and if _The Downfall_ and the other magazines begin to wish for my poetry, why, of course, I shall earn two or three guineas a week.
