In the mind of Mrs. St. John the matter was quite satisfactorily explained. Of course I am correct. She went to church two weeks ago last Sunday night and has never returned. The doctor advertised and exhausted every means to find her without success. Said Regenia, the tears chasing each other down her cheeks.
Doctor seems to be a very hopeful man.
For awhile the big awkward fellow sat looking into the fire thinking thinking of the past summer and the transient nature of everything in this world. You took my card and very wisely call at my home for a redemption of former pledges. What I said then in playful pastime, I repeat now in terrible earnest. You know how welcome you are here with Lucile, just as welcome as if you were her sister. You have been wronged, the cause of the wronged innocent is my cause.
