Aunt Caroline thought that the map was probably mistaken. "For," she added with finality, "it was certainly not the Ontario to which I have been accustomed."
This settled the matter for any sensible person.
"We are nearly home now," she went on kindly. "I hope you are not feeling very nervous, my dear."
"I am not feeling nervous at all," said Desire with surprise.
Fortunately Aunt Caroline took this proof of insensibility in a flattering light.
"Yes, yes," she said. "It is not, of course, as if you were arriving alone. You can depend upon me entirely. John, are you sure that your car will be in waiting?"
"I wired it to wait," grinned John. "And usually it's a good waiter."
"Because," said Aunt Caroline, "we do not wish to be delayed at the station. If Eliza Merry weather is there, the quicker we get away the better. I am determined that she shall be introduced to Desire exactly when other people are and not before. Please remember that, Benis. Introduce Desire to no one at the station. I think, my dear, we may put on our hats."
"It's an hour yet, Aunt."
"I know, but I do not wish to be hurried."
