 CHAPTER XXXII
 Emmy never knew what promises or pleas her mother had made to Grandmother Pentland on that rainy Saturday in March She never found out just how she had worked the miracle. But, as the last days of the month went by she began to see that she had made her certain promises without any doubt.
 Dan. you'll have to learn to use the side door at your grandmother's house." she would say when the boy came bounding into the hall of their own little yellow house. shell never let you track up her fine rugs with your muddy shoes"
 On the last Saturday in the month, while she and Emmy were wrapping their dishes in old newspapers and packing them away in barrels. she let another cat out of the bag. It'll be child's play-keeping a few bed rooms in order" she said as if to herself. and then stopped abruptly and flushed.
 What do you mean?" asked Elm my.
 we'll told your grandmother I'd never let her keep an upstairs maid while I was in the house." she said without meeting Emmy's eyes. She bent over and pretended to be very busy in the bottom of the bar rel.
 I'm going to do the mending. too," she ran on cheerfully. There won't be much. and l used to be able to do Marianna's without any trouble. I'd be ashamed not to do any work around the house, when we're paying your grandmother so little toward the household expenses"
 We'll. that was fair enough. thought Emmy.
 T hope father will not have any of his neuralgia spells" she said, "after he gets into Grandmother's house."
 I'm sure he won't" Mrs. Milburn answered. without the flicker of an eyelash. Hes been very much bet ter lately"
 He had. Ever since he had heard the great news that they were all going to live in the big red brick house on Prospect street he had been . model of good behavior.
 "Yes. we'll give up our home" he had remarked graciously. "and go to live with the Old Lady. It's the least we can do."
 You'd think he was doing her favor" Emmy had said to herself, wishing that Perry were at home to enjoy all this.
 On Sunday. night Robb came down to the house to say good bye. He was very blue.
 Aren't you silly. Robb?" Emmy asked him as they sat side by side on the burlap-covered piano bench. "Anybodys think we were going to the North Pole instead of just over here on Prospect street. We shall see each other just the same"
 He shook his dark, handsome head. "1tll never be the same again." he said. I'm not going to Mrs. Pent- lands house very often. She doesn't like me. and I'm not so thick skinned That p'f 1pc you. Emmy. You're changing"
 He looked up and as his eyes met hers something hard and cold in her seemed 10 melt-some indifference toward him that had been growing within her ever since the day Wells Harbison walked into the Parks building office of the company.
 "Robb, I'll never change toward you," she said. NO matter who comes Into my life, you'll always be the very best friend l have in the world. outside my own family. Why. no matter what trouble I was in, think I'd come to you first with it. Robb Hollis"
