"But just make sure that it _is_ play for you!" "I will," laughed Billy; and there the matter had ended.
Eliza began work the next day, and Billy did indeed soon find herself "playing" under Bertram's watchful insistence.

She resumed her music, and brought out of exile the unfinished song.

With Bertram she took drives and walks; and every two or three days she went to see Aunt Hannah and Marie.

She was pleasantly busy, too, with plans for her coming trip; and it was not long before even the remorseful Bertram had to admit that Billy was looking and appearing quite like her old self.
At the Annex Billy found Calderwell and Arkwright, one day.

They greeted her as if she had just returned from a far country.
"Well, if you aren't the stranger lady," began Calderwell, looking frankly pleased to see her.
