"Never. I wasn't sitting in the dark for that."
"Would you object to coming into the light?"
"Not at all," said Faith laughing. "Which way?"
"There is to be a fine illumination to-night, which I should like to have you see."
"An illumination! Where is it? Shall I want my bonnet?"
"You will be better illuminated without it,—but you may perhaps take cold."
"How do you make your scholars understand you?" said Faith. "I am sure
I must need illuminating.—So much, that I had better leave my bonnet,
Mr. Linden?"
"I think you may—if you will take some light substitute. Why my scholars are my scholars, Miss Faith."
"What then?" said Faith stopping short.
"Why then I am their teacher."
