"But what was wrong with the carriages?" she asked.
Amelia bent her fair head over the will until her face was hidden, but the tips of her ears reddened.
"Oh, I was just thinking that it didn't seem very respectful to Mamma and Papa to put George in the first carriage with them when they haven't known anything about him, so I thought I'd move him back a little way."
"Oh!" commented Belinda, with comprehension in her voice.
A quarrel between Amelia and Laura May, the Only True One, necessitated much remodelling of the unstable will during the next week, but the trouble was finally smoothed over and the pearl ring clause reinstated, though the chatelaine and La Vallière were lost to Laura May forever.
Friday evening was reception evening, and on Saturday morning Amelia flew to the Primary room immediately after breakfast.
She lifted a beaming face when Belinda looked in upon her.
"Do you believe in love at first sight, Miss Carewe?" she asked.
"No."
"Oh, don't you? Why, I know it's possible."
