"I shall only be gone for the day. There is a lady there who wants me to give lessons to her three children."
"Oh!"
"She will pay well, and the trip each week will be quite an outing."
"It will be cold traveling this winter, I'm thinking."
"Lakewood is a famous winter resort now. The hotels are fine, so I've been told."
"Does the lady live at a hotel?"
"No; she has a private cottage near by—so her letter says."
"Well, I wish you luck," said Gladys, and so the pair parted.
