And haven't I made you comfortable enough, my poor dear ?" "Oh, you misunderstand me, Mrs.Bell.I am going away, but only for a little--just for a day or two.

I don't know exactly when I shall be back, but probably in a day or two.

I am going by the early train, and I tapped at your door to say good-bye." Then Mrs.Bell in her delight and joy kissed Miss Hart, who soon afterwards left the house.
She walked to the station, the hour was early, and there was no special person about.

She took a first-class ticket to a small town about thirty miles away, and immediately afterwards her train came up.
During the greater part of her journey Miss Hart had the compartment to herself.

By-and-bye fellow-passengers got in, who almost started back at the sight of the pale face of the girl, who sat with her veil thrown back, looking straight out of the open window.
There was a strange expression on her face; her brows were slightly drawn together, and the curves of her lips had a, weary and pathetic droop.
