We surely needn't stay any longer with Fanny and those other horrid girls. Never mind your hats and gloves. Did we ever wear hats and gloves when we were out on the moors at Craigie Muir? There's an open door. Let's get away quite by ourselves.

I like Mrs. Haddo; she is the only one in the whole school I can tolerate.

Fan's worse than ever!
gpt
Oh, don't let's talk of her!

It will be rather fun going to London to-morrow,
gpt
Fun! exclaimed Betty.

I suppose we shall be put into odious fashionable dresses, like those stuck-up dolls the other girls. But I don't think, try as they will, they'll ever turn _me_ into a fashionable lady. How I do hate that sort!
gpt
Yes, and so do I,

Mrs. Haddo was kind about Dickie,
gpt
And it is nice, added Sylvia,

Oh, dear! said Hester;
gpt
I wish all those girls would keep out of sight, for then I'd dash back to the house and bring out the pieces of heather and plant them right away. They ought not to be long out of the ground.

You had best go at once, said Betty, giving Hester a somewhat vigorous push, which very nearly upset the little girl's balance.
gpt
Go boldly back to the house; don't be afraid of any one; don't speak to any one unless it happens to be Mrs. Haddo. Be sure you are polite to her, for she is a lady. Go up to the Vivian attic and bring down the clumps of heather, and the little spade we brought with us in the very bottom of the fifth trunk.

Oh, and there's the watering-can; don't forget that!
gpt
Yes, bring the watering-can, too. You had best find a pump, or a well, or something, so that you can fill it up to the brim. Bring them all along; and then just whistle 'Robin Adair' at the foot of this tree, and we two will come swarming down. Now, off with you; there's no time to lose!
