Meade, L. T., 1854-1914

"Wild Kitty"

"
"Yes, you will, if I take to her. Now, dad, must I begin it all over
again?"
"No, no; anything to please you, Kit."
"And at the end of the summer, as you have plenty of money, and as I am
sure she has repented most bitterly will you send her to Girton?"
"Oh, come, come; I make no promises."
"But I know it is all right, and I am going to rush up to her and tell
her everything. Oh, and here come Miss Sherrard and Miss Worrick. You
shall see them without me."
"I declare, upon my word, Kitty, you are the most extraordinary
creature. How am I to face the good ladies?"
"Here they are, father. Please, Miss Sherrard, come in; father will see
you, and Miss Worrick too."
Kitty flung open the door, and the head-mistress of Middleton School and
her subordinate found it closed behind them. They had a short interview
with Squire Malone--very short. It ended by Miss Sherrard and the squire
shaking hands most heartily.
"You did your best for her, and I am awfully obliged to you," said the
squire. "But, after all, she is too wild for England; she had better
stay in her own land."
"I believe you are right," said Miss Sherrard.
