`` Oh , nothing much , '' said Bertha , getting up briskly . `` See here , I 'm going to get to work . I 've wasted enough time . '' She curled herself up on the divan and tried to study her senior English . But her thoughts wandered hopelessly , and finally she gave it up in despair and went to bed . There she could not sleep ; she lay awake and wrestled with herself . It was after midnight when she sat up in bed and said solemnly , `` I will do it . '' Next day Bertha wrote a confidential letter to Aunt Meg . She thanked her for her invitation and then told her all about Grace . `` And what I want to ask , Aunt Meg , is that you will let me transfer my invitation to Grace , and ask her to go to Riversdale this summer in my place . Do n't think me ungrateful . No , I 'm sure you wo n't , you always understand things . But you ca n't have us both , and I 'd rather Grace should go . It will do her so much good , and I have a lovely home of my own to go to , and she has none . '' Aunt Meg understood , as usual , and was perfectly willing . So she wrote to Bertha and enclosed a note of invitation for Grace . I shall have to manage this affair very carefully , reflected Bertha . Grace must never suspect that I did it on purpose . I will tell her that circumstances have prevented me from accepting Aunt Meg 's invitation . That is true enough -- no need to say that the circumstances are hers , not mine .
