Katherine took the bundle under her
arm along with her high.school books
and went down Spencer street.
She went into the little shop and
sat down TO wait. She had knocked
loudly. but no one had responded. and
she had made bold to enter.
AS she sat there waiting. voices
from the little kitchen beyond reached
her. Evidently the two old men were
having late breakfast. and evidently
also they were somewhat hard OF
