Chapter XIII
OUR SEARCH WELL—Saturday came, and when Aunt Grisel's car came over for me there was a note inside, asking Lynette too; so she was delighted. When we got there, we were introduced to Miss Fawcett. She was very tall, with grey hair rolled up off her forehead and beautiful big blue eyes, and she had a jolly comfortable smile that you were not afraid of. She set us to work at once. We went upstairs to the linen-room, and she told us how to make bandages out of some old linen sheets.
