  Mrs. Gerhardt only smiled, but Jennie laughed.

  “How is Veronica?” she inquired.

  “She seems to be sleeping,” said the father. “I gave her medicine again at five.”

  While the scanty meal was being prepared the mother went to the sick child’s bedside, taking up another long night’s vigil quite as a matter of course.

  While the supper was being eaten Sebastian offered a suggestion, and his larger experience in social and commercial matters made his proposition worth considering.

But Pickering’s words amazed me.

  “Let me understand you,” I said, bending toward him. “My grandfather was supposed to be rich, and yet you tell me you find little property. Sister Theresa got money from him to help build a school. How much…..
