So the first Sunday at Heather Road did them all good in different ways.
CHAPTER XVIII.
STELLA'S SURPRISING REQUEST.
'I shall breakfast a little earlier than usual to-morrow morning, Vava,' said Stella when they were going to bed that night.
'Doreen says she catches the 8.40, so we shall be in plenty of time if we have breakfast at eight o'clock,' objected Vava.
'You can go with Doreen by that train, but I shall take the 8.20,' replied her sister.
Vava coloured up, for she remembered in a flash that it was to secure that unlucky letter of hers that her sister was going up to town so early. 'Oh that letter!' she said, in such dejected tones that Stella was sorry for her.
'Never mind, Vava; I will not let Mr. Jones have that letter, so you need not worry,' she said.
'Don't you think I had better come with you?' suggested Vava.
