I really must give the child another bedroom, this sort of thing is so bad for her. It is small wonder the darling does not get back her health--the dreadful way in which she is over-excited and injudiciously treated. Really, my good folks, I wish you would go back to town and not make mischief.

Lose Silverbel! I certainly will not submit to that.
