SOON after Mabel Raye went away, Nicholas Beach set out on a / Continental tour, and now, rid of the only discordant elements, the / house was so quiet, so peacefully, harmoniously happy, that Margie felt / almost as though she could have stayed there always-but for Harry's / ship coming home some day.
Nurse came back a week after the departure of Nicholas, so Margie / returned to her former duties and waited again on Mrs. Beach, more / contented and at rest than she had been for long enough.
