Then, with a cry of delight, she exclaimed: "Come here, Anne." Anne walked obediently to the window. "'Tell me, Sister Anne, do you see anything?" quoted Grace. "You are saved, Fatima," returned Anne dramatically. "It is an express wagon." Grace darted out of her door and down the stairs, meeting the expressman on the veranda, her trunk on his shoulder.
