IT was not till the autumn came that Kitty and Avice came together to pay Hope a visit.
She met them at the station herself, and was struck by the change in both of them. Kitty had lost her childish look; she was slighter in figure and taller, was as impetuous and eager as ever, but not so thoughtless in her speech, and seemed to have learnt self-control. Avice, from being a fresh complacent-looking girl, had become a nervous fretful invalid, full of her own aches and pains and sensitive feelings. Hope was quite shocked to see her.
