He's a fellow by th' name of Noland workin' for Chamberlain, an' wants a job right soon got a lot of book-learnin' just your kind." "I'll have John see him when he gets home," Elizabeth answered indifferently. "My! I wonder when they will be able to get back?" she added. "They wasn't through tradin' when this thing come on," Luther replied.
My love for Hugh Noland is but a memory, but when your letter came I found that my love for you was a living thing, that I wanted you very much, and even as I write you these words I want you. When her writing was finished Elizabeth went to the barn to saddle the horses, thinking that she would take Jack with her and ride into town to mail both letters in the cool of the evening.
