"How is Julia?" asked Harry, without giving John time to inquire why he had left the stable.
"They think she is a little grain better."
"Then she is still living?" continued Harry, a great load of anxiety removed from his soul.
"She is; but it is very doubtful how it will turn. I went in to see her yesterday, and she spoke of you."
"Spoke of me?"
"She said she should like to see you."
"I should like to see her very much."
"Her father told me, if you was a mind to go up to Rockville, he would pay your expenses."
"I don't mind the expenses. I will go, if I can get away."
"Her father feels very bad about it. Julia is an only child, and he would do anything in the world to please her."
