Miss Beach had lived so entirely in her various philanthropic occupations, that to give everything up would have been a severe mental shock.

As it was, she managed to obey medical orders, and at the same time, to a certain extent, keep her old place in the work of the city.
As the days became longer and lighter, she sometimes took her great-niece with her in the car.

Winona had really very little time out of school hours; her duties as Games Captain were paramount, and hockey practices and matches absorbed most of her holiday afternoons.

When she had an occasional free hour, however, it was an immense treat to go motoring.

She loved the feeling of spinning along through the country lanes.
