"I didn't hear him say anything very much out of the common," said Mrs. Crowther, in her matter-of-fact way.

Was she to put on her finery and go! There would be time yet to send a note to Mrs. Baynham, excusing herself on the score of illness. The doctor's party would not start before half-past nine.
