"Miss Ella and Emily," her aunt supplied, mildly surprised.
"Oh! Oh, yes! Yes, I suppose so. I don't know," Susan said in great confusion.
"You'll probably see Lydia Lord there," pursued Mrs. Lancaster, presently. "She's seeing Mrs. Lawrence's cousins off."
"On the Nippon Maru?" Susan asked nervously.
"How you do remember names, Sue! Yes, Lydia's going down."
"I'd go with you, Sue, if it wasn't for those turkeys to stuff," said Mary Lou. "I do love a big ship!"
"Oh, I wish you could!" Susan said.
She went upstairs with a fast-beating heart. Her heart was throbbing so violently, indeed, that, like any near loud noise, it made thought very difficult. Mary Lou came in upon her packing her suitcase.
"I suppose they may want you to go right back," said Mary Lou regretfully, in reference to the Saunders, "but why don't you leave that here in case they don't?"
"Oh, I'd rather take it," said Susan.
