"No."
"Then it won't do her any harm if she does get took back. It's different with you. Jest let her stay here as long as she wants to. When she finds her man don't come, she'll go back likely herself."
This was finally agreed to.
During the day there were no more visitors, much to the relief of Mrs. Kenyon.
At nightfall old Nancy and Mrs. Kenyon set out on their journey. The latter was disguised in an old gown belonging to her hostess, her gown stuffed out to like ample proportions, while a huge bonnet, also belonging to Nancy, effectually concealed her face.
"You look like my sister, Mis' Kenyon," she said. "Lor', I'd never know you!"
"I'll pass for your sister, Nancy, if any enquiry is made."
Nancy nodded acquiescence.
"That'll do," she said, in a satisfied tone. "Now, bid good-by to Miss Clopatry, and we'll go."
Cleopatra was quite willing to be left. She was quite persuaded that Antony would come for her during the evening, and urged Mrs. Kenyon to hurry him in case they met him.
