"A lady downstairs to see you, Mrs. Burns. " Cynthia presented a card.
It was early morning. Ellen had just seen her husband off in the Green Imp, and was busy at various housewifely tasks. She took the card in some surprise, for morning calls were not much in vogue in this small town. But when she read the name -- "Miss Ruston" -- she gave a little cry of delight, and ran downstairs as one goes to welcome a long absent friend.
