Of course, I knew that you would not come--that way--and I told mamma so. But she made me promise to tell you what she said. You must not be angry with me, dear, for I have a better plan for you.

What new insult?

You know, of course, that your father, in a fit of anger against you, left me all his money in a will?

I am going to make you an allowance to live on, Kathleen. I told mamma I meant to do so, and she said your father did not intend for you to have a penny of that money. Of course, I knew that. But it makes no difference to me, for I can not bear to have you living on Mrs. Stone's charity. It is better for you to depend on me for your support than on a stranger. Don't you think so yourself?

No, I do not think so, she said, angrily.

I would rather starve in the streets than support life on an allowance from you, made out of the money that should be mine, but which you cheated me out of by some cunning trick known only to yourself and your mother. I believe you are deceitful, that you are only pretending a kind feeling for me to serve some purpose of your own. Go, go, and leave me to myself and my misery!

Well, good-bye, since you will not let me be your friend,
