Magic London ALL her life up to the time she was eleven years old, Betty had heard about, but never seen, her godmother. The reason for this, was that until a year ago, Betty's home had been far away in the country, while Godmother Strangeways lived in London. Then, just when the child's father and mother moved to town, Godmother decided to travel abroad. So it happened that Betty had been more than a year in London before she met the old lady who afterwards made such a difference in her life. She never forgot the first day she met her. "Your godmother has come back," said her mother one morning at breakfast time, as with a curious smile she passed a letter to her husband. "Has she? Oh, I do want to see her!" exclaimed Betty. "Well, you will. She wants you to spend the day with her to-morrow." "Aren't you and Dad coming too?" "No, she wants you alone. She's sending her car to fetch you to-morrow at eleven o'clock. Your father and I will go to see her another time." "I wish you were coming. I don't know her, and I don't want to be there all day alone with her," grumbled Betty. "What will there be to do?" "You'll find she'll provide plenty to do," laughed her father. "Mind you don't tell her though, how much you dislike London!" he added in his teasing voice.
