Lady Ushant is coming to Bragton and Mary is not going to Cheltenham." This she said as though the news must be of vital importance to Larry Twentyman. He stood for awhile scratching his head as he thought of it. At last it appeared to him that Mary's continual residence in Dillsborough would of itself hardly assist him.
