Mrs. Levering said to me this morning that he is a daily wonder to them all, and a rebuke as well. 'We think we have troubles, she said, 'until we come over here.
As each looked away again, each saw that for the first time Vida Levering had become aware of his presence. A change passed over her face, and her figure swayed as if some species of mountain-sickness had assailed her, looking down from that perilous high perch of hers upon the things of the plain. While the people were asking one another, 'What is it?
'I thought Miss Levering was the only person under this roof who was ever allowed to observe Sunday as a real day of rest. 'If you've come to see Miss Levering began Lady John. 'Is she here?

'It's so much worse I dare not tell about it, even if you weren't here I couldn't. But Mrs. Heriot's anger was unappeased. 'You needn't suppose, darling, that those wretched creatures feel it as we would. Miss Levering raised grave eyes. 'The girls who need shelter and work aren't all serving-maids. 'We know, said Mrs.
