Janet bent and kissed her, and then went quickly to the door, for she
felt that her stay was longer than had been intended. As she opened the
door, she saw Miss Anna in full flight down the passage, and could not
help suspecting that she had been listening.
It was not nice of Miss Anna to listen at the door, yet, strange to
say, what she thus heard made a great change in her.
"There must be some truth in this talk about religion," she thought. "I
expected poor Janet would shake her in the bed, and instead she forgave
her, and seemed quite anxious about her, and spoke so kindly."
And thus the leaven was hid in the meal, and gradually the whole was
leavened.
The Rayburns had lost the train by which they had meant to go on to
Liverpool, but they were in time for the boat in which their passage
was taken. The parting with Fred was a trial, but it was, they hoped,
only for a time.
And, now that Janet has found both her boys, we may bid her farewell.
