So she kept her bargain faithfully , Mr. Campbell , and I think you were cruel to make her do it . '' `` You do , eh ? Well , well , I hope you 'll forgive me . I did n't think she 'd do it -- I was sure feminine vanity would win the day over missionary zeal . It seems it did n't -- though how much was pure missionary zeal and how much just plain King spunk I 'm doubtful . I 'll keep my promise , Miss. . You shall have your five dollars , and mind you put my name in the round space . No five-cent corners for me . '' CHAPTER XXIV . A TANTALIZING REVELATION `` I shall have something to tell you in the orchard this evening , '' said the Story Girl at breakfast one morning . Her eyes were very bright and excited . She looked as if she had not slept a great deal . She had spent the previous evening with Miss Reade and had not returned until the rest of us were in bed . Miss Reade had finished giving music lessons and was going home in a few days . Cecily and Felicity were in despair over this and mourned as those without comfort . But the Story Girl , who had been even more devoted to Miss Reade than either of them , had not , as I noticed , expressed any regret and seemed to be very cheerful over the whole matter . `` Why ca n't you tell it now ? '' asked Felicity . `` Because the evening is the nicest time to tell things in . I only mentioned it now so that you would have something interesting to look forward to all day . ''
`` Is it about XXXXX Reade ? ''
