Excerpt: ...or ask Herbert to. I feel lonely and it would be a great favor to me. If it were not so far, I would ask you and Herbert to come over and spend a day or two with me. Perhaps you can manage to do it some time. Only don't delay too long, for I am getting old and can't expect to live much longer, "Your affectionate aunt, "NANCY CARTER." "How good of Aunt Nancy!

Squire Leech thought more of Herbert than of his mother, for he was convinced that but for him he could have talked over Mrs. Carter six months before. "Serves the boy right," he said to himself.
