Excerpt from Madam of the Ivies
My efforts in my mother's behalf occupied the greater part of the next day, and I found that the first train to Eldon that I should be free to take was one that left New York at four-fifteen in the afternoon. It may show my faith in what my family were wont to call my superstitions to say that, so sure was I that I should not require one, I did not even concern myself to look up a return train.

I read the above advertisement aloud to my mother in a voice that trembled somewhat, notwithstanding all my efforts to render it calm and even.
"Here it is, mother dear," I said, with a foolish little laugh that meant nothing, and yet concealed much. "I have searched long enough for it, in all conscience."
"For what, my dear?" my mother asked, with innocent surprise in her pretty, faded blue eyes.
