Certainly not, that which is honest and arranges that obligation is not telling more of remembering the Hurds. Not more than there is of exchanging a time to have the thing gone and meeting no frown.

She had spent the morning in the Hurds' cottage, sitting by Mrs. Hurd and nursing the little boy.
In sets 7 and 8, on either side of Marcella and the Hurds, lived two widows, each with a family, who were mostly out charing during the day.
And the old woman, who had begun toying with her potatoes, slanted her fork over her shoulder so as to point towards the Hurds' cottage, whereof the snow-laden roof could be seen conspicuously through the little lattice beside her, making sly eyes the while at her visitor. "I don't believe a word of it," said Marcella, impatiently.
Marcella woke with a start, Minta put the letter on her knee, and dream and reality flowed together as she saw her own name in Wharton's handwriting.

I shall be back early after supper, for I haven't written my report."
She argued with herself an instant as though she had been a greedy child, then, going swiftly into the back kitchen, she opened the door between her rooms and the Hurds. "Minta!" A voice responded. "Minta, make me some tea and boil an egg! there's a good soul! I will be back directly." And in ten minutes or so she came back again into the sitting-room, daintily fresh and clean but very pale.
