"What shall we do to-morrow--where shall we go?" said Marion, on Saturday afternoon. "Where do you generally go?" said Kate rather timidly. "I have been going to ask you two or three times how you spend Sunday." "Oh! I go home, and, if it's fine, Bella and I go for a walk, or a little way into the country. But you will want to see London, of course." "Yes," said Kate, rather slowly; "I should like to see some of the grand places I have heard about, but--but don't you think we might manage to see them another time? Don't you go to Sunday school?" she asked, in a still lower tone. Her cousin stared at her in blank amazement, for a minute or two and then burst into a merry laugh. "Go to Sunday school--a young woman like me?" she said. "Well, not to Sunday school, exactly: I did not mean that, but to church and Bible-class?" said Kate. "Oh, yes, we go to church sometimes, for a change, when it's wet, and it's a good place to see the fashions, too, but I never went to Sunday school in my life; mother said it wasn't genteel!" "Mother liked me to go to Sunday school, and I promised her I would find out a Bible-class, as soon as I could," said Kate. "Well, so you can, I daresay, after a little while, but you must look round a bit first Now where shall we go on Sunday? You see the fine weather won't last long, and there's such lots of things for you to see. Of course, you would like to see Buckingham Palace, and the Houses of Parliament, and the Albert Memorial, and Kensington Gardens. But we can't see everything in one Sunday, so we had better make up our mind to go and see the Parks and the Memorial next Sunday." Kate did not answer, but Marion chose to consider the matter settled. Later in the day, when they had time for a few minutes' chat to themselves, Marion said, "You will soon forget your old-fashioned, countrified notions about Sunday schools and Bible-classes. They were all very well, I daresay, for the country people could go out and get a breath of fresh air any day in the week; but you can't here, and so we are obliged to manage our Sundays the best way we can." "Yes--but--but I should like to go to church next Sunday. Mother asked me in her letter this morning to tell her whether I had found a nice Bible-class, and where I went to church." "Oh! well, we'll go to church for once, just to satisfy your mother, Kate, only she can't expect us to go every Sunday." Kate thought she had better be content with the small victory she had gained, and perhaps, by-and-by, she might be able to persuade Marion to go to Bible-class with her, and thus put an end to these Sunday excursions. In the meantime, she must go with her cousins for a walk or a pleasure trip on a Sunday afternoon, or else Marion would refuse to accompany her to school.
