And she hurried away.
After she left, Mr.Morris looked up from his paper.

"There will be some one in the house besides those two girls ?" "Oh, yes," said Mrs.Morris; "Mrs.Drury has her old nurse, who has been with her for twenty years, and there are two maids besides, and Donald, the coachman, who sleeps over the stable.

So they are well protected." "Very good," said Mr.Morris.And he went back to his paper.
Of course dumb animals do not understand all that they hear spoken of; but I think human beings would be astonished if they knew how much we can gather from their looks and voices.

I knew that Mr.Morris did not quite like the idea of having his daughter go to the Drury's when the master and mistress of the house were away, so I made up my mind that I would go with her.
When she came down stairs with her little satchel on her arm, I got up and stood beside her.

"Dear, old Joe," she said, "you must not come." I pushed myself out the door beside her after she had kissed her mother and father and the boys.
