Jean, too, crossed the little bridge, climbed the fence, mounted her wheel, and rolled off down the dusty road. Supper passed. Edith went to church, Billy to keep an appointment with his teacher; and the spring twilight settled down over the room. Mrs. Bennett knew this would be a trying hour, and hastened her work, inventing some light task for May Nell; hastened also the errand to her own room.
