"Who were you driving with that day?" said Hugh.
"Mr. Thorn."
"Did you see much of him?"
"Quite as much as I wished. Hugh, I took your advice."
"About what?" said Hugh.
"I carried down some of my scribblings, and sent them to a magazine."
"Did you!" said Hugh, looking delighted. "And will they publish them?"
"I don't know," said Fleda; "that's another matter. I sent them, or uncle Orrin did, when I first went down; and I have heard nothing of them yet."
"You showed them to uncle Orrin?"
"Couldn't help it, you know. I had to."
