"But what have you understood, child?"
"That you will send me away somewhere."
"Where?"
"I don't care where, Cornelius."
"I shall send you to school," he said.
"To Miss Wood's?" I asked, naming a day-school close by.
"To a boarding-school," he replied gravely.
I felt that too, but all I said was—
"Then I shall only come home every Sunday."
