"Yes."
"She is full of sick fancies. She wishes to go away for a while to get a change of scene."
"I will go with her to any watering-place she desires to visit, in the season," said Emma Cavendish, readily.
"Yes; but, my dear, she must have this change now, [immediately."]
"I would go with her now if I could leave my guests. You know I have Electra here, and Laura will return in two days perhaps, with her brother also."
"My good child, she does not ask or need any attendance. She wants to go away by herself for a while. She wants to go to an old lady friend in Charlottesville."
"I have heard her lately speak of such a friend, and of her intention, some day, to visit her."
"Well, she wishes to go now, immediately, but is afraid to mention her desire lest it should meet with opposition, which she has no nerve to contest."
"Dear uncle, how strange that she should feel this way! Why, she is not a prisoner here! And if she wishes to leave us for a short or a long time she can do so."
"Of coarse she can, my dear; but she is full of sick fancies. And my advice to you is that you let her go at once. To-morrow morning, if she wishes."
