Through these days Cally hadn't seemed to care that Jack Dalhousie had killed himself, hadn't cared if the constrained tone of Mattie Allen's "steamer-letter" which said that Mattie was terribly sorry, dear, but was vague as to what indicated that the Heth glories had undergone a great and permanent eclipse.
As it happened there came a letter from Hen Cooney by the same mail that brought mamma's death-dealing one from Mrs. McVey.
