He came into her room one morning when just about to set out for Carra-carra to visit one or two of his poor parishioners. "How are you to day, my daughter?" he asked, tenderly. "Easy, Papa and happy," said Alice. "You are looking better," said he. "We shall have you well again among us yet."
Suddenly, and as it seemed, from no connection with anything in or out of her thoughts, there came to her mind the image of John as she had seen him that first evening she ever saw him at Carra-carra, when she looked up from the boiling chocolate and espied him, standing in an attitude of waiting near the door.
