I had letters this morning from Mildred and Zilla, both bringing a great deal of love to you and a cordial invitation to you and yours as well as my husband and myself to pay them a visit this summer. They have not yet heard of Rosie's approaching marriage, I find." "But must hear of it very soon," Elsie said with a smile.
Elsie motioned her to sit in the place she had pointed to, and Helen at that moment entered the room. Dudley Venner followed her. "She is your patient," he said, "except while the Doctor is here. She has been longing to have you with her, and we shall expect you to make her well in a few days."
