"I mean that I intend to sew here no longer," proclaimed Dorothy. "Oh, Miss Amhurst, Miss Amhurst," bemoaned the matron. "You will heartlessly leave us in this crisis when we are helpless; when there is not a sewing woman to be had in the place for love or money.

"It was there you lived with your father, was it not?" "Yes, and my church is to be called the Dr. Amhurst Memorial Church." "And do you propose to live at Haverstock?" "I was thinking of that." "Wouldn't it be just a little dull?" "Yes, I suppose it is, but it seems to me a suitable place where two young women may meditate on what they are going to do with their lives."
