n?"

"Foine!" cried Katy. "I'd love to be havin' her. I'd agree to take
orders from Miss Marian and to be takin' care of her jist almost the
same as I do of ye, Miss Linda. The one thing I don't like about it is
that it ain't fair nor right to give even Marian the best. Ye be takin'
that suite yourself, lambie, and give Miss Marian your room all fixed up
with her things, or, if ye want her nearer, give her the guest room and
make a guest room of yours."

"I am willing to follow either of the latter suggestions for myself,"
said Linda; "it might be pleasant to be across the hall from Marian
where we could call back and forth to each other. I wouldn't mind a
change as soon as I have time to get what I'd need to make the change.
I'll take the guest room for mine, and you may call in a decorator and

on your part as well as on mine?"

"That ye may, lambie," said Katy heartily. "And, as the boss used to be
sabin', just to make assurance doubly sure, if YoU would address it
for me I would be writing' a bit of a line myself, conveying' to her me
sentiments on the subject."

"Oh, fine, Katy; Marian would be delighted!" cried Linda, springing up.

"And, Katy dear, it won't make us feel any more like mourning for Eileen
when I tell you that it developed at the bank yesterday and today, that
since she has been managing household affairs she has deposited in a
separate account all the royalties from Father's books. I had thought
the matter closed at the bank when this fund was added to the remainder
of the estate, the household expenses set aside to Eileen, and the
remainder divided equal
