When she perceived him, it was not in nature to refrain from certain symptoms of agitation. The thoughts she had been indulging in brought suddenly a rush of guilty colour to her face; but she commanded herself as well as she could, and went on darning her stockings, with her heart beating very loud in her breast.
As her income for the year had been $297.50, this left a balance of $94.40 for all other expenses. One point should be accentuated in this budget the striking cost of stockings, due to the daily walk to and from work and the ill little worker's lack of strength and time for darning.
You know how she dotes on darning." "Yes, I know," smiled Aunt Hannah. "By the way, where is she this morning?" Billy raised her eyebrows quizzically. "Gone to look at an apartment in Cambridge, I believe.

"Poor child!" thought the good woman. "What a wild, undisciplined, handsome creature she is! I must do what I can for her." She sat on for some time darning and thinking. Her heart was full; she felt depressed.
It was only the principle involved; that the young man must be very changeable, and that Peggy might run a risk in the future if Harry were thrown in much with other women. Ada only laughed again, and kept on with her darning, and said she guessed there was no need to worry.
