Explore "Number Three, Winifred Place" by Agnes Giberne on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
WHILE Rhona watched and waited through that foggy afternoon, and while Mrs. Mordaunt was wandering about, no one knew whither, three ladies sat over their tea at No. 3, Winifred Place, close to Burton Square.
These were "the aunts" of whom Rhona had spoken confidentially to the Colonel. For over thirty years, they had lived in this prettily furnished West-End abode. It had been purchased in more prosperous days, when the Miss Mordaunts had a father living, and plenty of money at command. Much less money lay now within their reach; yet they preferred exercising any amount of economy in small things, to the giving up of their London home.
