to school; and as Frank and Harry are
going to Rugby, and Charlie would be quite
alone, Mr. D’Eyncourt has said ‘Yes, he
will be very glad to have me!’

“Ts not this good news, Martha? I am so
pleased I do not know what to do with my-
self; and I came off to tell you before I told
anyone but Fanny; now I shall go and tell
grandpapa;” and off started the delighted
boy.

Martha was still sitting on the top of
the Fairy Breach, when she heard a step in
the churchyard, which she knew was her
papa’s. He came up to her, and sat down
on the mossy wall beside her, “ What are
you thinking of, my darling?” he inquired.

“Papa, I was thinking that it is selfish
in me to go away, and leave you and grand-
mamma. I shall ask Miss Julia; she is so
kind to me, and tells me what is best to do.
You will be sure to say ‘Go,’ because you
think I shall enjoy the visit ; and so I shall,
for I love Fanny very much.”
