“I
have
been
so
much
startled—
no,
I’ve
not
been
at
all
startled—
don’t
mind
me,
my
dear
Miss
Jessie—
I’ve
been
very
much
surprised—
in
fact,
I’ve
had
a
caller,
whom
you
knew
once,
my
dear
Miss
Jessie”—
Miss
Jessie
went
very
white,
then
flushed
scarlet,
and
looked
eagerly
at
Miss
Jenkyns.
“A
gentleman,
my
dear,
who
wants
to
know
if
you
would
see
him.”
“Is
it?—
it
is
not”—
stammered
out
Miss
Jessie—
and
got
no
farther.
“This
is
his
card,”
said
Miss
Jenkyns,
giving
it
to
Miss
Jessie;
and
while
her
head
was
bent
over
it,
Miss
Jenkyns
went
through
a
series
of
winks
and
odd
faces
to
me,
and
formed
her
lips
into
a
long
sentence,
of
which,
of
course,
I
could
not
understand
a
word.
“May
he
come
up?”
asked
Miss
Jenkyns
at
last.
“Oh,
yes!
certainly!”
said
Miss
Jessie,
as
much
as
to
say,
this
is
your
house,
you
may
show
any
visitor
where
you
like.
She
took
up
some
knitting
of
Miss
Matty’s
and
began
to
be
very
busy,
though
I
could
see
how
she
trembled
all
over.
