“It's gone astray, ”said the alleged governess,
falling in with the excellent rule of life that the abser

maid can lend you things for the night,"and she led

sensitive young people, that Irene had the artistic
temperament highly developed, and that Viola was something or other else of a mould equally commonplace among children of that class and type
in the twentieth century.
