Just then a girl with a happy face came out of one of the rooms.
“Do you speak”——
“Why, yes, of course I speak. I am very glad to meet you here. How pleasant!”
“JE NE COMPRENDS PAS.”
It was Agnes, the young lady who had made herself so agreeable on the steamer.
The next morning, after a chat with Agnes, Master Lewis said to Tommy,—
“I think I will let you take a day to go where you like.”
“Will you not let me go with you?” asked Agnes. “It is a fête day, or some kind of Church festival, and I would like to go to that lovely church of St. Eustache, where they have the finest organ and sweetest chanting in the world. I know you will like it. It took a hundred years to build the church. It is all just like fairy-land.”
