Recovering from their surprise they call the housekeeper and immediately begin preparations for her reception; buy all sorts of toys and comforts to make a child happy and welcome. They have in their employ a good-looking young fellow as their private secretary, in whom they place great confidence and, indeed, they have every reason to, for he is attentive to his business and theirs. Vivian is expected and her two guardians are very happy in their expectations of entertaining the child. One is beating a drum, the other working a sort of Jumping Jack, anticipating the pleasure of the little one when she sees the amusements. While thus engaged Vivian is announced, and when they get a glimpse of an attractive young lady instead of a child they are very much embarrassed and try to hide the cause of their confusion. They have to adapt themselves to new conditions, and Vivian is soon engaged in straightening up the house and giving it a thorough overhauling. She meets the private secretary; there is an immediate mutual admiration and it is not long before it becomes more pronounced between them, and the old gentlemen become suspicious and decide that the secretary must be discharged. This is the signal for Vivian to assert herself and she does it, convincing her guardians that she is will able to manage her own affairs. The secretary takes his dismissal to heart, is taken sick and reduced to want. The young ward goes to see him and she is followed by the two old fellows. They trace her to the clerks' lodging. When they see her and the young man together they haven't the heart to find fault; their feeling gradually subside and they succumb to the pleadings of their ward, give their blessing and re-engage the young fellow with an increase of salary.
