A convent may afford for the present a safe asylum; and whatever shall happen, surely no fate you may hereafter encounter can be more dreadful than the one you now experience.',"You must be mistaken," insisted the major once more.

"She's regularly wrapped up in Elinor, because she's so much like Aunt Louise, she says.",Supper passed. Edith went to church, Billy to keep an appointment with his teacher; and the spring twilight settled down over the room.
