Then she looked at her father, and stopped the lady's-maid, who, tearful and hysterical, had answered the familiar summons, which but this morning was "missis's bell." "While they are putting to," said she calmly, "I will write a telegraphic message and a letter.
I saw this had been carefully joined together and enclosed in a cheap frame the only one that could boast of being so preserved.
