As soon as she had recovered, she wished to spend a fortnight at Dearport, beginning with a retreat that was held there. Remembering her old career there, and the abrupt close of her novitiate, she felt and spoke as if she was to be received as in penitence, but to the Sisters who surrounded her it was more as if they were receiving a saint.
I doubt whether she gets a night's rest three days in a week, and she looks quite haggard with this distress," said Jane. "She will be a great power by and by! But what will Mr. Flight and St. Kenelm's do without her?" "He is promised relays of Sisters from Dearport, which has stood so many years that they have a supply.
He was to have his meals, at his own times, in his sitting-room; and Sister Constance had a person in her eye at Dearport, who was likely to do well in the kitchen, and not quarrel with Sibby. Wilmet had made up her mind that she must remain at home all day, and had even told Miss Pearson so; but that good lady had refused to accept her resignation, and had come to Mr.
In the room to which she came stood the Superior and Dr. Easterby, and a yellow telegram-paper lay on the table. "My father?" she asked. "No," said the Superior, kindly, "it is your sister, who is ill. Here is the telegram " "Sister Margaret to the Mother Superior, St. Faith's, Dearport. Lady Tyrrell has the fever. Miss Vivian much needed. "Wils'bro, Sept. 26th, 5.30." "The fever!"

Or, if she be fit for nothing else, would not that Sisterhood at Dearport take her on reasonable terms? Not that I can away with such nonsense, but your father had his fancies. 'My father wished us not to break up the home.
That, and my brother, and Sister Constance, and Bishop Fulmort, have been the saving of me, if anything has. I mean, if they will have me, to spend a little time at Dearport after all this perplexity is over, and I know how it is with Lena, and I could see how it is with Paula if you liked."
