In the bustling life of the city she felt she was living more intensely, more usefully, as these critical days of war demanded.
"It's not the right day, but one never knows." A footman's figure entered. "Mr. Baxter, my lady.... Is your ladyship at home?" "Mr. Baxter " Mrs. Stapleton rose. "Let me see him instead, dearest....

The Aldriches had Portia and her mother in to a family dinner pretty often, and always came out to Edgewater for a one-o'clock dinner with the Stantons on Sunday. The habit was for Rose to come out early in the car and take them to church, while Rodney walked out later, and turned up in time for dinner. Mrs. Stanton had taken a great liking to Rodney.

This done, he set to work to prosecute Dr. Mackey and recover the fortune due himself and Jack. As a result of these movements Dr. Mackey received a term of ten years in prison, and inside of a year the Stantons, father and son, came into possession of a fortune worth a hundred and fifteen thousand dollars. Colonel Stanton had thought at first to go back to the North and settle down, but Mrs.
