Sherwood's long invalidism had eaten up the greater part of Mr. Sherwood's salary when he worked in the Atwater Mills; and now that Mrs. Sherwood's legacy from her great uncle, Hugh Blake of Emberon, was partly tied up in the Scotch courts, the Sherwoods would continue to limit their expenditures. At Mrs. Sherwood's urgent request, her husband was going into the automobile business.
"There is not a house in town so convenient for all as the Sherwoods," said Ada Chester; then turning to Gussie she asked: "Could we go to your house to make up the badges, Miss Sherwood?" "Certainly; that is, I think so. Dexie is the acting manager at home, so you had better consult with her," replied Gussie, pleasantly.
"There's plenty else," he urged defensively, "and I always try everything once." It was agreed that they should all meet again after an hour. Sansome renewed his promises to be on hand.

Martyn was removed to the station at Cawnpore, where the Sherwoods were then residing. The time was one of the worst in the whole year for travelling across the sandy plains, with a wind blowing that made the air like "the mouth of an oven." For two days and two nights, between Allahabad and Cawnpore, Mr.
