"She is such a real little lady," Rock had told his mother, when speaking of Cassy. "Indeed," he added, "they are all of them much too good to be living in that dirty, noisy street. I wish there was some way to get them away from there, but I think Mrs. Law is very proud and it wouldn't do to seem to patronize them. I wish you'd think about it, and see if you can't get up some nice plan to put them where they belong."
So Mrs. Dallas had put on her thinking cap, and when little Eleanor Dallas came to spend Easter at her uncle's house, Mrs. Dallas said to Rock: "How would it do to ask your little friend Cassy Law, to come and play with Eleanor? If she is as well-behaved as you say, I should think we might ask her. You know what a good-hearted child Eleanor is and I am sure she will like to have a little girl to spend the day with her. You see her Cousin Florence is still in Florida with her parents and Eleanor will not have any playmate but you."
