We have so many things to tell you." It was after eleven o'clock when the girls retired.

They had decided not to stay up until Mr.Southard's return.

Once in their rooms they found themselves too sleepy for conversation and five minutes after their lights were out they were fast asleep.
They were up in good season the next morning, as it had been agreed that they should be present at the morning service in the church the Southards attended.

Thanksgiving dinner was to be served at exactly half past twelve o'clock, instead of at night, for Mr.Southard had a matinee as well as an evening performance to give and never left the theatre for dinner during this short intermission.
In church that morning as she sat listening to the beautiful service, Grace felt that she had everything for which to be thankful.

In her heart she said an earnest little prayer for all those unfortunates to whom life had grudged even bread.
