"
Have
you
broken
the
news
to
your
family
?
"
asked
Priscilla
,
feeding
the
Sarah-cat
bits
from
her
lunchbasket
.
Phil
nodded
.
"
How
did
they
take
it
?

Oh
,
mother
rampaged
.
But
I
stood
rockfirm
--
even
I
,
Philippa
Gordon
,
who
never
before
could
hold
fast
to
anything
.
Father
was
calmer
.
Father
's
own
daddy
was
a
minister
,
so
you
see
he
has
a
soft
spot
in
his
heart
for
the
cloth
.
I
had
Jo
up
to
Mount
Holly
,
after
mother
grew
calm
,
and
they
both
loved
him
.
But
mother
gave
him
some
frightful
hints
in
every
conversation
regarding
what
she
had
hoped
for
me
.
Oh
,
my
vacation
pathway
has
n't
been
exactly
strewn
with
roses
,
girls
dear
.
But
--
I
've
won
out
and
I
've
got
Jo
.
Nothing
else
matters
.
"
"
To
you
,
"
said
Aunt
Jamesina
darkly
.
"
Nor
to
Jo
,
either
,
"
retorted
Phil
.
"
You
keep
on
pitying
him
.
Why
,
pray
?
I
think
he
's
to
be
envied
.
He
's
getting
brains
,
beauty
,
and
a
heart
of
gold
in
ME
.
"
"
It
's
well
we
know
how
to
take
your
speeches
,
"
said
Aunt
Jamesina
patiently
.
"
I
hope
you
do
n't
talk
like
that
before
strangers
.
What
would
they
think
?

Oh
,
I
do
n't
want
to
know
what
they
think
.
I
do
n't
want
to
see
myself
as
others
see
me
.
I
'm
sure
it
would
be
horribly
uncomfortable
most
of
the
time
.
I
do
n't
believe
Burns
was
really
sincere
in
that
prayer
,
either
.
"
"
Oh
,
I
daresay
we
all
pray
for
some
things
that
we
really
do
n't
want
,
if
we
were
only
honest
enough
to
look
into
our
hearts
,
"
owned
Aunt
Jamesina
candidly
.
"
I
've
a
notion
that
such
prayers
do
n't
rise
very
far
.
I
used
to
pray
that
I
might
be
enabled
to
forgive
a
certain
person
,
but
I
know
now
I
really
did
n't
want
to
forgive
her
.
When
I
finally
got
that
I
DID
want
to
I
forgave
her
without
having
to
pray
about
it
.
