There was a passing look of half-anger, half-surprise, but I gave no time for his mind to dwell in the same mood, for simultaneously I produced my note book and pencil and began to make drawings of animals and other things they were familiar with.

She lifted her bowed head, and met the soft, clear eyes of her daughter looking calmly down into her own. "Fanny, dear!" she said, in half-surprise, as she placed an arm around her, and drew her closely to her side. An open letter was in Fanny's hand, and she held it toward her mother.
