CHAPTER ".
She is awakened by the ringing OF the
breakfast bell. She jumps up-and the
first thing, she does, is to look out OF the
window, to see if Louis is still tapping at
Eleanors window. Enchanting what a
fool am, as if he would stay all night. y
az will hurry down and see what's been
going on. Coming down TO the dining
room she finds her papa, and Eleanor al
ready seated. With laugh and cheerful
good-morning, she takes her place, her
father saying-YOu're Late this morning,
daughter, did you sleep well?" Yes;
thank YOU. Nora, how did you sleep? SO
