And the faces OF Mrs. Mavor on my

over, are not such as ! could show to

Gracmes letters tell me chiefly about
Craig and his doings and about old
man Nelson, while from Craig l hear
about Graeme and how he and Nelson
are standing at his back and doing
what they can to fill the gap that new

And then they had their work to do.
