She could scarcely bear to lose him from her sight, and when later in the day Anna came down for him, she begged hard for him to stay.

But Willie was rather shy of his new grandmother, and preferred returning with Mrs.Millbrook, who promised that he should come every day so long as Mrs.Worthington remained at the hotel.
As soon as Mrs.Richards learned that Mrs.Worthington and Alice were in town, she insisted upon their coming to Terrace Hill.

There was room enough, she said, and her friends were welcome there for as long a time as they chose to stay.

There were the pleasant chambers fitted up for 'Lina, they had never been occupied, and Mrs.Worthington could have them as well as not; or better yet--could take Anna's old chamber, with the little room adjoining, where Adah used to sleep.

Mrs.Worthington preferred the latter, and removed with Alice at Terrace Hill, while at Anna's request Densie went to the Riverside Cottage, where she used to live, and where she was much happier than she would have been with strangers.
Not long could Mrs.Worthington stay contentedly at Snowdon, and after a time Alice started with her and Lulu for Washington, taking Sam also, partly because he begged so hard to go, and partly because she did not care to trouble her friends with the old man, who seemed a perfect child in his delight at the prospect of seeing "Massah Hugh." But to see him was not so easy a matter.
