'' The little drum came flying in , and , catching it , Jill , with some hesitation , obeyed Frank 's order . Judge of her amazement when she caught in broken whispers these touching words : -- `` Sorry I was cross . Forgive and forget . Start fair to-morrow . All right . Jack . '' Jill was so delighted with this handsome apology , that she could not reply for a moment , then steadied her voice , and answered back in her sweetest tone , -- `` I 'm sorry , too . Never , never , will again . Feel much better now . Good-night , you dear old thing . '' Satisfied with the success of his telephone , Frank twitched back the drum and vanished , leaving Jill to lay her cheek upon the hand that wore the little ring and fall asleep , saying to herself , with a farewell glance at the children 's saint , dimly seen in the soft gloom , `` I will not forget . I will be good ! '' Chapter VII .
