Six days of sordid and plodding fact life at home on the ragged edge of Lakeside and straitened means, the seventh in Fairyland--such had been their program and their habit.
In their sternly restricted fact life they remained as of old--plodding, diligent, careful, practical, economical.

They stuck loyally to the little Presbyterian Church, and labored faithfully in its interests and stood by its high and tough doctrines with all their mental and spiritual energies.

But in their dream life they obeyed the invitations of their fancies, whatever they might be, and howsoever the fancies might change.

Aleck's fancies were not very capricious, and not frequent, but Sally's scattered a good deal.

Aleck, in her dream life, went over to the Episcopal camp, on account of its large official titles; next she became High-church on account of the candles and shows; and next she naturally changed to Rome, where there were cardinals and more candles.
