Chapter X
I was not left alone long. Mollie came out of the house, and greeted me in friendly childish fashion. "Lessons over for the day," she said, throwing herself into a chair. "I suppose you will be awfully shocked if I say that I am glad of it." She shook her thick mass of curls at me, with a challenging laugh.
