Miss Sterling laughed. "No more midnight troubles!"
"I am so surprised I don't know what to say." The visitor sat down.
"It isn't usable yet," Miss Sterling told her. "The man said he had to do some wiring in the cellar, make connections, and so on."
"Won't it be lovely for you!" cried Mrs. Albright.
"For all of us," amended the other. "I want the ladies to feel that it belongs to them as well as to me, and to come and use it whenever they wish."
"That is good of you! I'm sure it is needed badly enough. Isn't it nice that Miss Crilly is doing so well?"
"Yes, I'm glad as can be! I felt she would come out all right, but it is better to know it."
"She owes her life to you. I never should have dared to brave Miss
Sniffen's anger, as you did."
"I guess I shouldn't have dared, if I hadn't known there was somebody ready to stand by me in case of need."
"That must have helped. Miss Sterling, I couldn't keep from hearing what you told Miss Crilly last night."
