Aileen
looked
at
her
solemnly
,
and
understood
well
enough
why
she
was
so
enthusiastic
--
both
she
and
her
mother
.
Both
wanted
her
presence
to
brighten
their
world
.
"
But
neither
of
you
must
tell
anybody
that
I
'm
here
,
do
you
hear
?
I
do
n't
want
any
one
to
know
--
particularly
no
one
of
my
family
.
I
've
a
reason
,
and
a
good
one
,
but
I
ca
n't
tell
you
what
it
is
--
not
now
,
anyhow
.
You
'll
promise
not
to
tell
any
one
.
"
"
Oh
,
of
course
,
"
replied
Mamie
eagerly
.
"
But
you
're
not
going
to
run
away
for
good
,
are
you
,
Aileen
?
"
she
concluded
curiously
and
gravely
.
"
Oh
,
I
do
n't
know
;
I
do
n't
know
what
I
'll
do
yet
.
I
only
know
that
I
want
to
get
away
for
a
while
,
just
now
--
that
's
all
.
"
She
paused
,
while
Mamie
stood
before
her
,
agape
.
"
Well
,
of
all
things
,
"
replied
her
friend
.
"
Wonders
never
cease
,
do
they
,
Aileen
?
But
it
will
be
so
lovely
to
have
you
here
.
Mama
will
be
so
pleased
.
Of
course
,
we
wo
n't
tell
anybody
if
you
do
n't
want
us
to
.
Hardly
any
one
ever
comes
here
;
and
if
they
do
,
you
need
n't
see
them
.
You
could
have
this
big
room
next
to
me
.
Oh
,
would
n't
that
be
nice
?
I
'm
perfectly
delighted
.
"
The
young
school-teacher
's
spirits
rose
to
a
decided
height
.
"
Come
on
,
why
not
tell
mama
right
now
?
"
Aileen
hesitated
because
even
now
she
was
not
positive
whether
she
should
do
this
,
but
finally
they
went
down
the
stairs
together
,
Aileen
lingering
behind
a
little
as
they
neared
the
bottom
.
Mamie
burst
in
upon
her
mother
with
:
"
Oh
,
mama
,
is
n't
it
lovely
?
Aileen
's
coming
to
stay
with
us
for
a
while
.
She
does
n't
want
any
one
to
know
,
and
she
's
coming
right
away
.
"
Mrs.
Calligan
,
who
was
holding
a
sugarbowl
in
her
hand
,
turned
to
survey
her
with
a
surprised
but
smiling
face
.
She
was
immediately
curious
as
to
why
Aileen
should
want
to
come
--
why
leave
home
.
On
the
other
hand
,
her
feeling
for
Aileen
was
so
deep
that
she
was
greatly
and
joyously
intrigued
by
the
idea
.
And
why
not
?
Was
not
the
celebrated
Edward
Butler
's
daughter
a
woman
grown
,
capable
of
regulating
her
own
affairs
,
and
welcome
,
of
course
,
as
the
honored
member
of
so
important
a
family
.
It
was
very
flattering
to
the
Calligans
to
think
that
she
would
want
to
come
under
any
circumstances
.
"
I
do
n't
see
how
your
parents
can
let
you
go
,
Aileen
;
but
you
're
certainly
welcome
here
as
long
as
you
want
to
stay
,
and
that
's
forever
,
if
you
want
to
.
"
And
Mrs.
Calligan
beamed
on
her
welcomingly
.
The
idea
of
Aileen
Butler
asking
to
be
permitted
to
come
here
!
And
the
hearty
,
comprehending
manner
in
which
she
said
this
,
and
Mamie
's
enthusiasm
,
caused
Aileen
to
breathe
a
sigh
of
relief
.
The
matter
of
the
expense
of
her
presence
to
the
Calligans
came
into
her
mind
.
"
I
want
to
pay
you
,
of
course
,
"
she
said
to
Mrs.
Calligan
,
"
if
I
come
.
"
"
The
very
idea
,
Aileen
Butler
!
"
exclaimed
Mamie
.
"
You
'll
do
nothing
of
the
sort
.
You
'll
come
here
and
live
with
me
as
my
guest
.
"
