So I came over with father.

He had to come to a meeting of the Guardians here, or something.

They've quarrelled, haven't they ?" "Who?
Miss Gailey and Mr.Cannon?
Well, you see, she quarrels with every one." Hilda appeared to defend Mr.Cannon.
"I'm afraid she does, poor thing!" "She quarrelled with mother." "Really! when was that ?" "Oh! Years and years ago! I don't know when.

I was always surprised mother let me go to the class." "It was very nice of your mother," said Janet, appreciative.
"Is she in trouble ?" Hilda asked bluntly.
"I'm afraid she is." "What ?" Janet suddenly gave a gesture of intimacy.
