Yet one can hear the merry chatter

There was no doubt they were en-

overhead,

one would imagine these little mites

yet a group of women stood at the

It is a doubtful point, but do these
people know, or is it "just a way

"But have you not beard from her?"'

Business as Usual.
"Not a word," he answered in a low
whisper—"not a single letter. She
may be alive, she may be dead. If I
