The tide in Mrs. Tarleton rose once more; on Monday she was able to sit up, and Cecil took Lee for a walk; but returned betimes, having received a brief parental admonition that if he did not, he'd be caned. After that, they explored Market Street every afternoon, and on Sunday trotted off to church together.
