Her father had been turned out of his place; Nobby was in his pains again, after they had been hoping he wouldn't have any more; and to-morrow was Christmas! As she said, everything came at once. Things seemed to swim before her eyes-Nobby's pain was the most real of all-and as she could not help him, she wanted to get out of sight. It was all true. Aching and longing intolerably for something more than she had known, she had met Will Prescott-and he had loved her-he said so; and he had promised her books and pictures, and chances for travel and study.
She went into the best room, already trimmed for to-morrow; the Christmas tree was clustered with gifts and with candles ready for lighting, and the motto was on the top, '_Gott_zur_hulfe_.' Jane looked it all over, and her lip quivered.
'This is pure and honest, as it says,' said she; 'and _I'm_ a lie myself, cheating father. Christmas to-morrow! 'twon't last long; if _he_ only knew I go to-I won't say the word-would he ever care about me again?'
She went into the other room for her shawl.
