Gardner and I stopped in to see if we couldn't take you to the Hoyts', but you'd gone.

The only light they had in the drawing-room was the yellow lamp and the fire; it was the coziest thing I ever saw!" "Vivvy Sartoris was here!"
Barker Emory had been much taken up by Mary Moulton, and was a recognized leader at Belvedere Bay now; Straker Thomas was in a sanitarium; old Lady Torrence was dead; Marian Cowles had snatched George Pomeroy away from one of the Vanderwall girls at the last second; Thomas Prince was paralyzed; Agnes Chase had married a Denver man whom nobody knew; the Parker Hoyts had a delicate little baby at last; Vivian Sartoris had left her husband, nobody knew why.
