THE proverb which Calista had quoted did not seem likely to be fulfilled in her case. The business went on smoothly.
Calista wisely resolved to ask no questions, and to think as little as possible about the matter. She worked very hard at her lessons, did her best to please Mrs. Fabian, accepting in the best spirit all that lady's hints about manners, dress, and so forth, and fell into all the ways of a daughter of the house. She was happier than she had supposed possible, and would have been quite happy but for her anxiety about her aunt. Mrs. Fabian said she should never be able to part with Calista, and began to calculate the time of her nephew's return from Europe.
