Emilia was at length released from the confinement she had so unjustly suffered. She had now the use of her old apartments, where, solitary and dejected, her hours moved heavily along, embittered by incessant anxiety for Julia, by regret for the lost society of madame.

“Yes, here he is,” piped a shrill, boyish voice from the doorway. Splash! There lay Johnny Blossom and the boat-hook in the water. Oh, how angry he was! “Ugh—Ugh!” he sputtered. “Rather an involved story,” thought Mother. But she said: “Well, now you must say your prayers and go to sleep.” From a distance came the rattle of gunshots..
