"Had we ought to start now?" repeated Hephzibah. "I'm all ready but puttin' on my things." Jim came out of his trance. He dropped the hand and came to me. "Are you is she " he stammered. "Yes," said I. "Miss Cahoon is going with me.
"Yes, the murderer of Grey lies confessed," said Iredale quietly, "and I think that his motives were even stronger than those attributed to " Prudence placed a hand over his mouth before he could complete his sentence. They were startled from their horrified contemplation of the work of those last few moments by the sound of Hephzibah's voice calling from her bedroom.

And never in his life had he experienced such a burst of thankfulness as he did at that moment. His heart was too full to speak. Prudence smiled gravely as she watched this whole-hearted token of her mother's loyalty to a friend. Nor was Sarah backward in her expression of goodwill. "Hephzibah's right, George, and she speaks for both of us. But there's work to be done for all that.

Her father's and mother's visits came as usual. Preston came and brought her some books. Hephzibah came, too, and had a bit of a lesson. But Hephzibah's wits were like her hair, straying all manner of ways.
