"Your next stop.
Raynor is not here to receive you? She was called away this morning very suddenly by her aunt's illness. Oberville. Yes. She left a note for me. Griscom's illness. Isabel. Oh, Mrs. Griscom's illnesses are less alarming than her recoveries. But I am forgetting to offer you any tea. Oberville. What else do you remember? Isabel. A number of equally useless things.

Raynor had never needed tendance; she had always been giving help to her daughter; she had always been a sort of humble ministering spirit; and it was one of Janet's pangs of memory, that instead of being her mother's comfort, she had been her mother's trial.

She drew in her breath and turned her face away; they were both silent. Then she said, dully, that she never heard any news.

"The story of the fan is in the most secret archives of Paris and Washington. When you were packing up in Tokyo to come home on the very last day before your departure a lady called on you whom you knew as Madame Volkoff." "That dear woman!" exclaimed Mrs. Farnsworth.
