When Evangeline read the little note asking her to step into Mr. Willing's office, she thought of course the new things from Hasenheimer's had come, and that Mr. Willing would ask her if she could come back that evening to help unpack and place them. But it was Mrs. Willing's voice which called "Come in! " to her knock, and the moment she opened the door she knew by the expression on Mr. Willing's face that something important was on the way.
Mr. Willing waited till she and his wife had gone through the necessary greetings and then brought it out flatly, "Mrs. Knapp, Miss Flynn has just told us that, because of certain changes in her family affairs, she will be leaving us next month."
