It was Beppo's last day, and what had happened forty-eight hours ago now / seemed to Lily Fairfield like a bad dream.
Beppo was once more the kindly, good-natured, almost brotherly friend of / his first week's stay at La Solitude. And though Lily could see that / Aunt Cosy was unlike herself, for she looked oddly disturbed, anxious / and gloomy, she had taken very well the news that Lily had accepted an / invitation to stay with the matron of the Convalescent Home for a few / days.
