Renney, but she represented to him, though with much deference, that the care of her property must oblige her to go where and when it went. He rang, and ordered the housekeeper to be sent.

"When do they go, Mrs. Evelyn?" "Both the same day, and both the day after to-morrow. Mr. Olmney takes the morning train, he says, unless you would prefer some other, I told him you were very anxious to go, and Mrs. Renney goes in the afternoon. So there's a choice for you." "Mamma," said Constance, "Fleda is not fit to go at all, either time." "I don't think she is," said Mrs. Evelyn.

Just then it was not snowing; the clouds seemed to have taken a recess, for they hung threatening yet; one uniform leaden canopy was over the whole horizon. "The snow ain't done yet," said Mrs. Renney. "No, but the worst of our journey is over," said Fleda. "I am glad to be on the land."
