AT AUNT SELINA'S
Jimmy was quite right. Miss Roberts leaned forward to put her head out at the window on his side of the cab, and she saw that every shutter was shut, and that there was a sheet of newspaper in each window.
'What a nuisance!' she exclaimed, sitting down again as the horse stopped.
The cabman got down to open the door, and Jimmy jumped out, on to the pavement.
'I daresay they've gone to France,' he said, as she followed him.
'Still there may be some one left in the house,' answered Miss Roberts.
'I don't suppose there is,' said Jimmy, looking as if he were going to cry.
