'Do as I tell you--run upstairs at once and get your music.'
She looked questioningly at her mother and hesitated. But Mrs. Barton
had a way of compelling obedience, and the girl went upstairs, to return
soon after with a roll of music. At the best of times she had little

not swatemates,' he said, affecting a brogue.
'Oh yes, is it not dreadful?' exclaimed Mrs. Barton. 'I don't know what
