`` You 're not going to have to go through this all alone , Cecily , '' she said . `` Oh , it wo n't be half so hard now , '' said Cecily , with a long breath of relief . I fancy it was hard enough even then . The Story Girl did not care a whit , but Cecily rather squirmed under the curious glances that were cast at her . She afterwards told me that she really did not think she could have endured it if she had been alone . Mr. Campbell met us under the elms in the churchyard , with a twinkle in his eye . `` Well , you did it , Miss , '' he said to Cecily , `` but you should have been alone . That was what I meant . I suppose you think you 've cheated me nicely . '' `` No , she does n't , '' spoke up the Story Girl undauntedly . `` She was all dressed and ready to come before she knew I was going to dress the same way . So she kept her bargain faithfully , Mr. Campbell , and I think you were cruel to make her do it . '' `` You do , eh ? Well , well , I hope you 'll forgive me . I did n't think she 'd do it -- I was sure feminine vanity would win the day over missionary zeal . It seems it did n't -- though how much was pure missionary zeal and how much just plain King spunk I 'm doubtful . I 'll keep my promise , Miss. . You shall have your five dollars , and mind you put my name in the round space . No five-cent corners for me . '' CHAPTER XXIV .
