“Are you still tired?” he asked. “Would you like to rest a little?”
“Yes,” she said. “I would like to get my things off.”
“You’d better go to bed for a bit,” he said. “Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you: your friend, the princess, is coming here this evening!”
“No, I have told her everything and she knows about it all.”
She was pleased to know that Urania was not angry and that she still had a friend left.
“And I have seen Mrs. Uxeley also.”
“She must be angry with me, isn’t she?”
