'No,' answered Evangeline. 'They are not of the slightest use—they are only for show, you see.'
'Where are you going?' cried Mary.
'She is going to hold her Court, of course,' said Sister Agatha; 'I should have thought any one would have known that.'
'Is she going to hold it here?' asked Mary. 'In this very room, I mean?'
'The idea of such a thing!' exclaimed Sister Agatha. 'Where do you imagine all the kings and queens and the other wonderful folk would put themselves?'
'Then I shan't see it,' said Mary in a very disappointed tone.
'I wish she could just peep at us!' cried Evangeline, turning towards Sister Agatha.
'I daresay I could carry her down,' was the answer.
'Nobody would notice her if she stayed behind the band,' said Evangeline.
'What would they do if they did notice me?' asked Mary feeling a little frightened.
