Long and anxiously they talked over their dilemma; Dutton had only money enough to pay his bill at the cottage, and Bluebell was resolute to earn something for herself. She answered an advertisement in the Times he had brought with him, naming, as reference, the mother of Evelyn Leighton.
The Rollestons, vacillating between Tadousac, the Falls, a trip in the "Algoma," and a journey to Boston, their large party being an objection to each and all, were finally attracted by an advertisement of a fishing-lodge to be let or sold on Rice Lake.
What should she do in Canada? Her connection with the Rollestons was played out, and for every one's happiness it was better severed.
