"But the little Kitty has a great deal," said Miss Keys, in a reflective tone.  "I have read some of her themes; she has a poetical mind.  The programme for the great day is to be given out also this afternoon, and I believe Sir John intends to read the three Scholarship essays aloud, and the guests present are then to vote with regard to the fortunate winner.  Of course, the theme will not quite decide the Scholarship, but it will go a very long way in that direction.  I have seen Sir John, and I know that all his tendencies, all his feelings are in favor of Miss Sharston."
