The extra twenty was to buy a pair of new walking shoes, some hose, and a hat, before she went to her train.
When they went downstairs Adam, Jr., had a horse hitched and Adam, 3d, drove her to her home, where, at the foot of the garden, they took one long survey of the landscape and hid the telescope behind the privet bush.
