Primrose gave them full directions with regard to the right address,
and the hour at which they were to be present; and finally the girls

excitement and so deeply interested in what was about to occur that

CHAPTER LVI.
A PALACE BEAUTIFUL.
Hannah Martin had come up with her young ladies to London, and she
also was invited by Mrs. Ellsworthy to come to her house. The girls
all thought Hannah very much altered; they could not understand her
queer illusions, or her mysterious little nods, or in particular the
way she used to stare at Jasmine, and say under her breath, "Yes, yes,
as like as two peas. What a blind old woman I was not to see it when I
clapped eyes on him."
"I cannot make out what Hannah is always muttering," Jasmine said to
her sisters. "Who is it I am so remarkably like. To judge from the way
Hannah frowns and shakes her head, and then smiles, the fact of this
accidental likeness seems to have a very disturbing effect upon her."
"I know whom you are like, Jasmine," said little Daisy.
