On the afternoon before the great day
all the visitors were TO come, and during
the forenoon old Miss Stanbury was IN
a great fdget. Luckily for Dorothy,
her own preparations were already
made, so that she could give her time u
her aunt, without injury 10 herself.

of her life, Barty Burgess, in the house

with him a plan for the division of the
family property. Her sister law,

had chosen 10 regard as her enemy, and
with whom even as Yet there had been
no reconciliation, was about to become
nor guest, as was also P,i,cilla-whom
she had ever dlslIked almost as much as
She mad respected. She had auarreled
