'I am glad Mummy isn't very bad,' said Anne, hurriedly finishing her letter. The bell will go in a minute and you won't have had any breakfast.' For goodness' sake eat up your sausages, Anne. 'It will be a great help to feel him there. 'He can sit under my feet whilst I'm doing them,' said George.

'Timothy can't do lessons, don't be silly, George,' said Anne. She could not bear the idea of herīeloved dog Timothy going off each morning with Anne, whilst she, George, sat and worked hard with Julian and Dick. He won't be doing lessons!' 'Yes, he will,' said George, at once.

'I expect I'll have quite a good report, because I've done well in the exams - but it won't be any fun for me not doing lessons with you three in the holls. 'What horrid holls they'll be, if we have a tutor running after us all the time,' said Anne, gloomily. After all, this is the first time I've ever been to a proper school, and there are heaps of things I don't know.' Report I guess they'll find out how little I know. 'A tutor! How sickening! That means I'll have to do lessons too, I'll bet!' said George, in dismay. 'George! We are to come to you again - but oh blow, blow, blow! - we've got to have a tutor for the holls, partly to look after us so that your mother doesn't have too much bother with us, and partly because both Julian and Dick have been ill with 'flu twice this term, and have got behind in their work.' She read a few more lines and then gave such a delighted exclama tion that George and the other girls waited impatiently for her to explain. 'Poor Mummy - I do hope she isn't feeling very ill.' 'Wait a minute - let me finish the letter and see what Daddy says, said Anne, picking up the note again. We had such fun when you came to stay for the summer holls,' 'Won't you come and stay at Kirrin Cottage with me? I'm sure my mother would love to have you again. 'Well - what are you going to do for the holidays then?' asked George. 'Whatever will the two boys say?' said Anne, thinking of Julian and Dick, her two brothers. She had been promised many things she had never seen before - the pantomime, and the circus - and a big party with a fine Christmas tree! Now it wouldn't happen. She was just as disappointed for herself as for Anne, because Anne's mother had invited George, and her dog Timothy, to stay for the Christmas holidays with them. 'Mummy's got scarlet fever - and Daddy is in quarant ine for it - so they can't have us back. 'Oh, George - we can't go home for the holidays!' said Anne, with tears in her eyes. She looked anxiously at Anne as her cousin read the letter.

She really was very like a boy with her short curly hair, and her boyish ways. 'I hope it's not bad news,' said George, She would not allow anyone to call her Georgina, and now even the mistresses called her George. 'A letter from Daddy - and I only had one from him and Mummy yesterday.' 'Hallo, look at this!' she said to her cousin Georgina, who was sitting beside her. Anne sat down at the breakfast-table and picked up a letter addressed to her. IT was the last week of the Christmas term, and all the girls at Gaylands School were looking forward to the Christmas holidays.
