We'll go back to that house, Primrose.
On the whole, the rooms may suit us.

What is the landlady's name ?--Oh, Mrs.Dove.

We'll go back to Mrs.Dove and take her rooms." Accordingly, in a funny little street off the Junction Road, the three Mainwaring girls found a nest.

It was a queer nest, up at the top of a tall and rambling house; but Mrs.Dove appeared good-natured, and had no objection to the young ladies doing their own papering and white-washing, and as Primrose took the rooms on the spot, and paid a week's rent in advance, she became quite gracious.

Every morning, as soon as ever breakfast was over at Penelope Mansion, the girls started off to the new home they were preparing for themselves.
There they worked hard, papering, white-washing, and, finally, even painting.
