Why didn't she stay in her old farm-house! who could ever have imagined her becoming famous! I shall go abroad, I think that will be the best thing to do. If Blythe leaves me as he threatens, I shall certainly not stay here by myself to face the music! Besides, who knows? the girl herself may 'round' on me when her head gets a little more swelled with success. Such a horrid bore!
