"Mrs.Stanhope is so kind," she went on hopefully, "perhaps she will not be so very angry." Fani shook his head.
"You don't know about it, Emma.

Of course Mrs.Stanhope is the greatest benefactress in the world.

But she is very particular about our minding exactly what she tells us; and one of her principal rules is that we must never disturb the regularity of the household, and must keep punctually to just such hours; and now see what we have done! We shall not get home till twelve o'clock to-night, midnight! Probably they are hunting for us everywhere.

How will it all turn out?
Oh, dear! if she sends us off, there's an end of drawing and painting for me! That's all over"; and Fani looked despairing.
Emma felt that he knew Mrs.Stanhope far better than she did, and her courage began to fail.

They sat in silence till the train came along.
