A STORY FOR GIRLS.

CHAPTER XXV.
MAY’S INVITATION.
“I should like to go, Aunt Cossart, of course; but I will not accept unless you can really spare me. Now that Effie is away, I know it is dull for you, except in the evenings when Oscar is here.”
Mrs. Cossart held in her hands the note of invitation, which a servant from Monckton Manor had just brought.
“Do you know who these friends are that Miss Lawrence thinks you would like to meet?”
“No,” answered Sheila simply. “They have a good many summer visitors at the Manor, and they are all nice people; but May does not say whether they are any I have seen before.”
