'We've always wanted to go along the Aldersmere road, said Frances. 'You remember, Jass, we went a tiny bit up it that morning that first morning with dear old Marmy. 'Yes, said Jacinth, with a sigh, 'that first and last day. 'Is it the way along by Uncle Marmy's gates? asked Eugene. Phebe did not understand him, but Jacinth explained.

The little party stepped out bravely; the four miles to Aldersmere seemed only half the real distance, and the place itself, when they reached it, would have rewarded a much greater amount of exertion.
