Leanna practically jumped out of her chair at Miss Bronte’s statement. “Let’s go! My room is right next to yours, there’s a door between them, so I can get my coat, too.” She frowned as Miss Bronte called for Mrs. Browne. She waited to see if Mrs. Brown would come, then went over to her father’s seat, and used the bell. Mrs. Browne came almost immediately. “Miss Bronte and I are going to fetch our coats, and then we are going outside to play in the leaf piles.”

Mrs. Browne nodded. “I’ll have John wait for you at the door. Will you need clean clothes set out for Miss Leanna? Or perhaps a bath prepared?”

Leanna frowned and interjected. “I’ve already had my bath this morning.” She turned to Miss Bronte. “Come on, let’s go!” She turned and ran out of the room, heading for her room to get her coat.
