I would not have missed you for anything." Sarah Cobb, who had said that her name was now Mrs.Slater, and that she lived in New York, having removed there from Hilton only a few years previous, seemed nothing loth to accept her friend's invitation, and it was arranged that Miss Ludington should send her carriage to meet her at one of the Brooklyn ferries the day following.

Miss Ludington wanted to send the carriage to Mrs.Slater's residence in New York, but the latter said that it would be quite as convenient for her to take it at the ferry.
After repeated injunctions not to fail of her appointment, Miss Ludington finally bade her old school-mate good-by and drove home in a state of pleased expectancy.
She entertained Paul at the tea-table with an account of her adventure, and gave him an animated history of the Cobb family in general and Sarah in particular.

She had known Sarah ever since they both could walk, and during the latter part of their school life they had been inseparable.
The scholars had even christened them "The Twins," because they were so much together and looked so much alike.

Their secrets were always joint property.
The next afternoon Miss Ludington went herself in the carriage to fetch her friend from the ferry.
