Next day she was no better off ; she did not venture to ask whether she might go out or not , or even to go to Miss Starbrow 's room , but kept to her own cold apartment , working and grieving , and seeing no one except the maid . Rosie came and went , but she was moody , or else afraid to use her tongue , and silent . On the following morning Miss Starbrow left the house at an early hour , and Fan resigned herself to yet another cold solitary day . About eleven o'clock Rosie came running up in no little excitement with a telegram addressed to `` Miss Affleck .

Rosie stood by , anxiously waiting to hear its contents . `` How long are you going to be about it ? ''
