“No, no, the Fo’castle! I—Here they come!” Billy set down some cups with dangerous haste and ran out. “What’s the trouble, dear? What were you afraid of?” she enquired, as she raised him to his feet. So the hours passed. The two women had their quiet rest till five o’clock when they came down for the usual singing. May Nell had a sweet voice, surprisingly strong for a child; and when she asked to play her own accompaniment to a little song unknown to Edith, the latter was surprised by the child’s skill, and still more by her rare feeling and expression.

Perhaps none of them knew, least of all May Nell herself, how lastingly her example of watchful kindness had impressed itself on Billy’s heart..
