"She is better. But one does not get up from those fevers so soon. One's strength is gone. I have sent for them to come and make me a visit and recruit."
"They are coming, I hope?"
"I expect them here to-morrow."
Mr. Dillwyn had nearly been betrayed into an exclamation. He remembered himself in time, and replied with proper self-possession that he was very glad to hear it.
"Yes, I told them to come here and rest. They must want it, poor girls, both of them."
"Then they are coming to-morrow?"
"Yes."
"By what train?"
"I believe, it is the New Haven train that gets in about five o'clock.
Or six. I do not know exactly."
"I know. Now, Mrs. Wishart, you are not well yourself, and must not go out. I will meet the train and bring them safe to you."
