She returned no answer. So I tried another subject.
“What a fine fellow your brother is!”
“Yes; he grows very much.”
“Has your father found another place for him yet?”
“I don’t know. My father never tells me about any of his doings.”
“But don’t you go and talk to him, sometimes?”
“No. He does not care to see me.”
“I am going there now: will you come with me?”
“Thank you. I never go where I am not wanted.”
“But it is not right that father and daughter should live as you do. Suppose he may not have been so kind to you as he ought, you should not cherish resentment against him for it. That only makes matters worse, you know.”
