Henrietta Vance's brother took this one home in a hired hack. Mrs. Vance and Henrietta sat down to rest for a moment in the empty parlours.

She had on her best, but there was comfort in the thought that if she must confine herself to a best, it was neat and fitting.
James plunged into an account of his stay in Scotland, telling of the country, the food, and the people with an agreeable, racy vivacity. Slowly the great cloud lifted from Hilary Vance's ample face. He grew interested; he asked questions; at last he said firmly: "I must go to Scotland. Nature Nature pure and undenied is what my seared soul needs." "It wouldn't be a bad idea," said Mr. James.
