"How many times have you been engaged?" and May leant her elbows upon the table and regarded the governess with interested eyes.
"How many times have you been engaged?"
"Twice," answered Miss Clark, in a low voice.
"And he was nice?" May inquired, with vivid interest.
"I thought them both nice at the time," Miss Clark returned, with a sigh and a smile. "But--oh, here is Flossie ready to go down. Flossie, my dear, how quick you have been!"
"But I'm quite tidy, Miss Clark," Flossie replied. "I wish Tom would be quick. I say, Sarah, don't you wish you were going down, too?"
"Sarah's quite happy with Miss Clark and me," put in May; "ain't you, Sarah?"
"Yes, quite," Sarah replied.
"Oh, are you? Then I shall tell Ma you said you didn't want to go down to see her, then," Flossie retorted.
