"I suppose Mr. Stanbury would say something,—only he is not here."
"And papa won't send my letter," said Nora.
"You are sure that you will not go out to the Islands with him?"
"Quite sure," said Nora. "I have made up my mind so far as that."
"And what will your sister do?"
"I think she will stay. I think she will say good-bye to papa and mamma here in Florence."
"I am quite of opinion that she should not leave her husband alone in Italy," said Mr. Glascock.
"She has not told us with certainty," said Nora; "but I feel sure that she will stay. Papa thinks she ought to go with them to London."
"Your papa seems to have two very intractable daughters," said Caroline.
