We stopped at Virginia for three days, saw the California of '49 reënacted in a feverish, gambling, mining town, descended to the bottom of the exhaustlessly rich "Ophir" shaft, came up again, and resumed our way across the Sierra.
Nancy sometimes wondered that with the Ingram income anyone could be satisfied with Marlborough Gardens, but after all, what was there better in all the world? Europe? but that meant hotel cooking for the man. Nancy visualized an apartment in a big city hotel, a bungalow in California, a villa in Italy, and came back to the Gardens.
