"Yes; St. Nicholas is an immense straggling parish, going four miles along the river.
I never will go out of the reach of letters again. I saw in the Times, at Innspruck, a mention of typhoid fever here, and I came back as fast as trains would bring me; but too late, I fear." "You are welcome, indeed," repeated Rosamond. "Herbert has broken down at last, after doing more than man could do, and I am most thankful that my husband should be saved the funerals at Wil'sbro'."

"I have letters to write to Miles and to them all at home; and I am making a whole set of shirts and stockings for papa and the boys it will spare mamma and Jeanie, and I have plenty of time."
