Kate laid down her book and looked up.
"Did you deliver the note, Eunice ?" "Yes, Miss." "And my message to Miss Grace ?" "Yes, Miss." "Very well, then--you may go." The girl went away, and Kate sat sipping her tea and reading.

She sat for upward of half an hour, and then she arose and took the way to the apartments of Mr.Richards.It was after ten before she returned and entered her sitting-room.

She found Eunice waiting for her, and she resigned herself into her hands at once.
"I shall go to bed early to-night," she said.

"My head aches.

I must try and sleep." Sleep mercifully came to her almost as soon as she laid her head on her pillow.
