When her necessary expenses of books and dress, and a dozen apparently trifling incidentals were met, there was little enough left to send to that far-away, struggling uncle and aunt, who needed her help sadly enough, and who had shared their little with her in earlier days.
It would cost five millions more to put the property in the same excellent condition in which the opening of hostilities had found it.
