At length we heard footsteps coming down the long corridor and Miss C, (the lady who had invited papa) came into the room.

She greeted papa very pleasantly and they had a nice little chatt together.

Soon the lady principal also entered and she was very pleasant and agreable.

She showed us to our rooms and said she would send for us when dinner was ready.

We went into our rooms, but we had nothing to do for half an hour exept to watch the rain drops as they fell upon the window panes.
