I am so sorry; and now you go the day after to-morrow.

I wish I could do something for you.

Is there nothing you could leave in my charge ?' 'Only Jill,' I said, half laughing.

'If you would take a little more notice of her after I have gone, I should be so thankful to you.' I thought Lesbia seemed somewhat amused at the request.
'Poor old Jill! I will do my best; but she never will talk to me.

I think I should like her better than Sara if she would only open her lips to me.
Well, Ursula, what have you and mother been talking about ?' 'About Rutherford Lodge,' I returned quickly.
