But Virgie made a gesture of dissent. She felt that she had not strength even to hold those thin sheets of paper in her trembling hands. "Very well; then, I will read it to you; but, my young friend, you must be prepared for some startling news." Virgie opened her lips as if to speak, but the words died on them, and Mrs.
