From the direction of the station came people with parcels and hand bags and presently there was heard the welcome sound of carriage wheels crunching over the stones.

A moment later they saw coming round the bend in the road a cab piled up with small baggage.
"Here they are! Here they are!" cried Mrs.Rossmore.

"Come, Eudoxia!" she called to the servant, while she herself hurried down to the gate.

The judge, fully as agitated as herself, only showing his emotion in a different way, remained on the porch pale and anxious.
The cab stopped at the curb and Stott alighted, first helping out Mrs.Blake.

Mrs.Rossmore's astonishment on seeing her sister was almost comical.
"Milly!" she exclaimed.
They embraced first and explained afterwards.
