"Suppose you go and see Mr. Codicil."
"He might think I wished him to give me money."
"No; ask him to use his influence to obtain you music-pupils."
Rose brightened at the suggestion.
"I believe I will follow your advice, Addie. It seems to me good."
"And if that doesn't do any good, write to Miss Wilmot, and ask her advice. You can always refer to her."
"Why, Addie, I never gave you credit for such wise counsel. Your words have inspired me with new cheerfulness. I will go to Mr. Codicil to-morrow morning."
Half an hour before the arrival of Rose Beaufort at the lawyer's office, Ben and Mr. Novarro entered.
"Can I see Mr. Codicil?" asked Ben.
