C. No; she is not in town.

Prof. D. Not living there?

C. She lives with my grandfather at Darkglade.

Prof. D. Indeed! I hope Mr. and Mrs. Aveland are well?

C. Thank you, he is well; but my grandmother is dead.

Prof. D. Oh, I am sorry! I had not heard of his loss. How long ago did it happen?

C. Last January twelvemonth. My aunt is married, and my mother has taken her place at home.

Prof. D. Then you are here on a visit. Where are you staying?

C. No, I live here. I am studying in the Slade schools.

Prof. D. This must have greatly changed my dear old friend’s life!
