“To stay in Germany? You’d rather do that than anything?”
“Rather.”
“Here, with Fräulein Pfaff?”
“Of course, here with Fräulein Pfaff. I’d rather be in Germany than anything.”
Millie stood staring with her pout and her slightly raised eyebrows at the frosted window.
“Would you stay here in the school for the holidays if Fräulein were staying?”
“I’d do anything,” said Millie, “to stay in Germany.”
“You know,” said Miriam gazing at her, “so would I—any mortal thing.”
Millie’s eyes had filled with tears.
“Then why don’t ye stay?” said Judy, with gentle gruffness.
