I hope I never see him." The corners of Kitty's mouth twitched, but she did not dare to laugh.
"I expect he thought he was doing right," she said excusingly.
"He couldn't have helped you to run away; he would have been sent to jail.

And oh, Betty, I am so glad you did come home; there is trouble enough without losing you too.

I was so frightened about you all the way down in the train--" "Did you get my letter ?" "Yes; it was that that brought me.

I didn't know anything about Aunt Pike until I got to Gorlay Station." Betty crept over from her window-seat and stood by Kitty as she sat on her little bed.

"Kitty, do you hate me for telling that to Aunt Pike ?" "Hate you!" cried Kitty.
