Your grandfather and I want to have another quiet chat together." "Now I want your advice," he said when they were both comfortably seated in the study.

"You see, you have been thinking and planning about the child for years, while it has all come new upon me, so I must rely upon you entirely.

Of course, the child must have a governess, that is the first thing; not so much for the sake of teaching her, though, of course, she must be taught, but as a companion for her." "Yes," the sergeant assented, "she must have a governess." "It will be a troublesome matter to find one to suit," the squire said thoughtfully.

"I don't want a harsh sort of Gorgon, to repress her spirits and bother her life out with rules and regulations; and I won't have a giddy young thing, because I should like to have the child with me at breakfast and lunch, and I don't want a fly-away young woman who will expect all sorts of attention.

Now, what is your idea?
I have no doubt you have, pictured in your mind, the exact sort of woman you would like to have over her." "I have," the sergeant answered quietly.
