Her thoughts were out on Long Island, at Massapequa. She was thinking of their joy when they heard the news her father, her mother and Stott. She was thinking of the future, bright and glorious with promise again, now that the dark clouds were passing away. She thought of Jefferson and a soft light came into her eyes as she foresaw a happy wifehood shared with him.
Rossmore did not know the lower part of the city well, and had no experience in meeting ocean steamships. There was only one way out would Stott go? Of course he would and he would bring Shirley back with him to Massapequa.

Local happenings naturally had first claim upon Massapequa's attention the prowess of the local baseball team, Mrs.
