“Oh! ‘To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow!’” sighed Rosemary.
“We will go down and get some luncheon, and then go on to our new quarters.”
“And to-night we shall sleep in motionless beds for the first time in two weeks, thank Heaven!” exclaimed Wynnette.
They went down to the dining saloon and lunched. Then Mr. Force settled the bill and the whole party went out.
The squire caught a hack “on the fly,” put his five ladies into it and gave the driver the address. The hack drove off.

The party retired very early that night, and in spite of anticipations of the morning they all slept profoundly.
