“Miss Linden going away! I won’t have her go! What makes you go, Miss Linden?”
“Your mamma thinks it best,” answered Florence, with moistened eyes.
“Well, I don’t!” exclaimed Carrie, stamping her foot, angrily. “I won’t have any other governess but you.”
“Carrie, you are behaving very unbecomingly,” said her mother.
“Will you tell me, mamma, why you are sending Miss Linden away?”
“I will tell you some other time.”
“But I want to know now.”
“I am very much displeased with you, Carrie.”
“And I am very much displeased with you, mamma.”
