‘Jen’s always been keen on you. You were her first Queen, of course, so I suppose you mothered her when she arrived. And then the way you took her home to the Hall, during what you call “those days,” did something you’ll never undo. You adopted Jen, and she’s never forgotten it. She’ll miss you more than anybody. Poor infant, it is rotten luck; she’ll be awfully lonely!’ Cicely said sympathetically.
But Jen, condoled with on every hand at the next dance-evening, took an unexpectedly independent view of her misfortune. ‘You can’t exactly say it’s rotten luck to go and live at home with your mother and father,’ she said sturdily. ‘Of course I shall miss you all, and school, and the club, and our meetings, hideously; I know that! I don’t know how I’m going to exist without anything at all, and I simply daren’t let myself think that I’m never going to see you all again, or the barn; or have any more dancing—our kind of dancing! I haven’t taken that in yet, and I’m trying not to. I’ve got to sit on that idea as long as ever I can. I suppose it will get hold of me sometime, but at present I simply don’t believe it. And I can’t let any one say it’s rotten luck to go home!’
