Mrs.Reffold was in her bedroom.
She asked.

Bernardine to sit down whilst she searched for the book.
She had a very gracious manner when she chose.
"You are looking much better, Miss Holme," she said kindly.

"I cannot help noticing your face.

It looks younger and brighter.

The bracing air has done you good." "Yes, I am better," Bernardine said, rather astonished that Mrs.Reffold should have noticed her at all.
