"Yes, dear," with an understanding of Anna's feelings such as she had never shown before, "you shall go away to school for a time.

You shall go to Miss Pidsley's next term, if you like.

I am sure it is the best plan." So Anna went away to school, and Aunt Pike moved into her new home in time to receive her on her return for the Christmas holidays.
A nurse-companion was engaged to live with Mrs.Pike and take care of her; but never a day passed but what Kitty went to sit with her, to tell her the news or ask her advice.

The others went frequently too--Tony regularly, and Dan daily when he was at home.
