"Sliced kisses, fried in tears," were the words I heard Miss Fielding / reply to Leah's morning call, early the next day. I had waited long, / for the day was bright and I wakened at sunrise. Her fanciful order put / one immediately into a good humor, and I was intensely curious to see / what the day would bring forth.
The collies were barking vociferously, joyously. Suddenly they stopped, / and then, one by one, I heard them greet their mistress. It was very / prettily done. Leah, coming in, found me smiling, and smiled back at / me. Seeing me so much better, she offered timidly to help dress me, and / I welcomed her proposal to bring me hot water and what was necessary for / shaving. My own clothes had been sent down, so I prepared myself for my / chatelaine's visit.
