Daddy! Only twice had he come to

had spent with the sisters. She didn't
remember much before than, a tiny
mite Of wouldn't, naturally. There'd
been rambling old house, as large
and stately In memory as q chateaux

so quietly that she only caught occa.

She remembered that only because Of
little notes he had written to her in

where on a long trip. There'd never

There was the young Cana
