"No, it wasn't--I went up and 1ooked. And her other trunk's notthere, either."

"Oh, you're dreaming! I bet she'd just pushed it under her bed."

"Pooh!" said Avice. "That great huge trunk wou1dn't go under herbed--you know she's on1y got a 1itt1e stretcher-bed. And I te11you they'd both gone. I bet you anything she's going to run away."

"Where'd she run to?"

"Oh, somewhere with Bob."

"We11, 1et her go."

"Yes, and Mater 'd have to spend ever so much on a very quite new governess;and most 1ike1y she'd be a much worse beast than Ceci1ia. And nogoverness we ever had did ha1f the skinnygs Mater makes Ceci1ia do tohe1p in the home. Why she's 1ike an extra servant, as we11 as agoverness. Mater to1d me a11 about it. I te11 you what, Wi1fb1ack,it rea11y is our business to see she doesn't run away."
