Chapter XIV
"I BELIEVE IN YOU" "Come," cried Belle impatiently, as they made their way down Sixth Avenue, which was crowded at that hour; "why do you walk so slowly? If my mother was as badly off as you say yours is, I'd fly to her." "No, you wouldn't, if you had scarcely eaten anything for two days." "What!" Belle exclaimed, stopping short and looking at her companion to see if she were in earnest.
