FLANK MOVEMENT.
Miss Cynthia Badlam was in the habit of occasionally visiting the Widow Hopkins.

Some said but then people will talk, especially in the country, where they have not much else to do, except in haying-time.

She had always known the widow, long before Mr.Gridley came there to board, or any other special event happened in her family.

No matter what people said.
Miss Badlam called to see Mrs.Hopkins, then, and the two had a long talk together, of which only a portion is on record.
