AS Marion walked home from Sunday school, she resolved to ask Aunt Christian about Rachel "and all the rest of it," as she said, rather contemptuously.
"I might have had the first news to tell the girls if I had had any wit. How stupid they must have thought me not to know a single thing about it! And my watch, too! It was so silly in me to look at it so many times, as if I had never seen one before. I saw Mrs. Bartlett smile, I know. I don't believe Kitty thinks any more of hers than if it were a handkerchief. I suppose her aunt in Paris sent her the diamond-set watch. I would give a great deal to know whether Kitty really is proud of her grand rich relations; though as to that, her connections are not so grand as ours. Just think! The duke himself is a kind of cousin of ours."
