CHAPTER XXVII
10/12

I should have to charter a car,' and in a few moments six of Jerrie's baskets were transferred to Ann Eliza's room, including Tom Tracy's book.
'Oh, I can't take that, Ann Eliza said; he didn't mean it for me; he didn't give me anything, and I--I--' Here she began to sob again, and laying her hand pityingly upon the bowed head, Jerrie said: 'Yes, I know; I understand.
