"Poor woman!" he thought to himself. "It will gratify her, and her letter will do no harm."
"I shall have to be indebted to your kindness for a postage-stamp," she said. "I cannot obtain them here."
"Oh, don't mention it," he said.
"You will be sure not to mention this to the doctor?" said Mrs. Kenyon earnestly.
"On my honor as a gentleman."
"I believe you," she said quietly.
This was the letter, directed to Oliver, which found its way into the hands of Mr. Kenyon, and occasioned him so much uneasiness.
