Anna? she asked rather nervously,

It seems the only thing to do. I could not bear for him to go and live alone--even for only a short time--in that big house where he left his mother. But it was all settled very hurriedly, partly by telephone to the Deanery.

I think, she said slowly,
gpt
I think, dear honoured lady, that it will be best for me to go to Germany, to stay with Minna and Willi till the War is over.
human
Perhaps that will be best, she said.

But of course there is no hurry about it. There will be certain formalities to go through, and meanwhile---- Again she stopped speaking for a moment, then went on steadily:

A friend of Major Guthrie's--one of his brother officers who has just come home from the Front--is also to be married to-morrow. His name is Captain Pechell, and the lady also is known to Major Guthrie; her name is Miss Trepell. I have arranged to let the Trellis House to them for six weeks, and I have to tell you, Anna, that they will bring their own servants. Before I knew of this new plan of yours, I arranged for you to go to Miss Forsyth while this house is let. However, the matter will now be very much simpler to arrange, and you will only stay with Miss Forsyth till arrangements have been made for your comfortable return to Germany.

I did try to arrange for you to go and spend the time with your daughter, but apparently they will not allow Germans to be transferred from one town to another without a great deal of fuss, and I knew, Anna, that you would not really want to go to the Pollits. I felt sure you would rather stay in Witanbury. But if you dislike the idea of going to Miss Forsyth, then I think I can arrange for you to come out to Dorycote----

No, no, said Anna, in German.

It does not matter where I go for a few days. If I am in Miss Forsyth's house I can see my gracious young lady from time to time. She will ever be kind to her poor old nurse.
