Two and a half months.... How many of Ursula’s sisters and brothers would be there? Nina and Lottie--Aunt Lavvy had told her a little about the Maxwell family--Not Bunny, he was in New Zealand; but Hal, the eldest boy, he would get a holiday from London.... He was big and handsome, like Doug, only of course not _so_ big and handsome. Would they give her a pretty room, there? As pretty as this one? At the boarding-house she had always shared a room with Auntie, but it was much nicer to sleep alone ... it was lovely being alone in this room ... even with a broken heart.... Christine sighed contentedly.
