THE TWO WEIRD SISTERS.
Ellen seemed to understand my anxiety about Mrs.Packard and to sympathize with it.

That afternoon as I passed her in the hall she whispered softly: "I have just been unpacking that bag and putting everything back into place.

She told me she had packed it in readiness to go with Mr.Packard if he desired it at the last minute." I doubted this final statement, but the fact that the bag had been unpacked gave me great relief.

I began to look forward with much pleasure to a night of unbroken rest.
Alas! rest was not for me yet.
