“Graeme, I have something to tell you. What is the most delightful, and almost the most unlikely thing that could happen to us?”
Graeme shook her head.
“I should have to consider a while first—I am not good at guessing. But won’t it keep? Nelly is out of all patience.”
But Rose was too excited to heed her.
“No; it won’t keep. Guess who is coming—Janet!”
Graeme uttered an exclamation of surprise.
“Arthur got a letter from Mr Snow to-day. Read it.”
Graeme read, Rose looking over her shoulder.
“I am very glad. But, Rosie, you must make haste. Fanny will be down in a minute, and Nelly is impatient.”
“No wonder! But I must tell her about Mrs Snow.”
