"I enclose herewith a five-pound note, and please ask Florence to exchange her third-class ticket for a first-class one, and telegraph to the station-master at Hilchester to have a carriage waiting for her, in order to take her back to the school as my niece ought to arrive.  Tell her from me that during the next term I will allow her as pocket-money two pounds a month, so that she may show her companions she is really the niece of a wealthy woman.  As to you, Mabel, I hope you will not interfere in any way with the dear child, but allow her to pursue her studies as my niece ought.  If she fails to get the Scholarship all these good things will cease, but doubtless she has too much spirit and too much ability to fail."
