BEATEY LA YTOJV'S PROMISE. 169<br />

*' she would n't for a great many girls, but<br />

Milly and I are quite able to take care <strong>of</strong><br />

ourselves, and good natured enough to let<br />

<strong>her</strong> think that she takes care <strong>of</strong> us. But<br />

never mind Mrs. R-ushington. When can<br />

you let me know what progress you have<br />

made in matters ?"<br />

" When can I see you ? Can you take<br />

a stroll on the beach this afternoon ?"<br />

'' Not to be thought <strong>of</strong> Mrs. Hushing-<br />

ton will make me read to <strong>her</strong> then. She<br />

has a great idea <strong>of</strong> cultivating my mind as<br />

well as Milly's. I can come down and<br />

talk to you over the wall after dinner,<br />

about seven. Milly will play <strong>her</strong> mamma<br />

to sleep while I do. T<strong>her</strong>e will be no one<br />

about. I shall sit on the bank inside, and<br />

hear all you have to tell me. I hope it<br />

will be good news."<br />

" That is hardly likely, so soon, but<br />

whatever it is, I will be at the wall by<br />

seven o'clock, to tell you."
