"No; I've been telling her the truth at last."
"Effie, Effie!" called Mrs. Staunton from the bedroom.
Effie ran to her mother.
"Do you know, young man," said Mr. Gering, "that you have got a very remarkable sister?"
"Do you mean Effie? Oh, I always knew she was a girl in a thousand."
"A girl in _ten_ thousand, more like. Do you know, young rascal, that she has been pleading with me for you, and--'pon my word, it's true--melting my old heart till I don't know what I'm doing? In short, I've made her a promise."
"A promise! Oh, sir, what?"
"A promise that I'll let you off--all but the moral punishment. That, of course, you'll have to bear."
"Mr. Gering, is this true?"
"Yes, it's true. I'm doing it all on account of your sister. You may come back to the office to-morrow, and consider that you've got a fresh start. Now, for goodness' sake, don't keep me any longer. Open the door, one of you children, can't you? I must hurry back to my work."
That is the story, for George really did learn his lesson, and in his case the new leaf was turned. He will carry the scars, however, of that time of sin and suffering to his grave.
Effie kept her promise, and went as governess to little Freda Harvey for a time, but only for a time. When money affairs were straight again, she gladly returned to the life which she really loved, and is now superintendent of one of the wards at St. Joseph's.
It is true that there are whispers afloat with regard to her and Lawson--whispers which always give a feeling of consternation in the ward which she manages so skillfully--but only Effie herself can tell if there is truth in them or not.
THE END.
