An hour or two after some letters were brought in, one of which was addressed to
Miss Fay,
Poste Restante,
Roma.
Minnie opened this, and looked over it with a troubled air. Then she spoke to her sister, and they both went off to Minnie's room.
"Who do you think this is from?" she asked.
"Oh, I don't know! Of course it's some more trouble."
"It's from Captain Kirby."
"Oh, of course! And of course he's here in Rome?"
"No, he isn't."
"What! Not yet?"
"No; but he wrote this from London. He has been to the house, and learned that we had gone to Italy. He says he has sent off letters to me, directed to every city in Italy, so that I may be sure to get it. Isn't that good of him?"
