Mercy Philbrick’s Choice

CHAPTER XII
33/33

She began even to consider the possibility of deferring the visit to Lizzy Hunter, which she had promised to make in the spring.

As the time drew nearer, her unwillingness to go increased, and she would no doubt have discovered some way of escape; but one day early in March a telegram came to her, which left her no longer any room for choice.
It ran:-- "Uncle Dorrance is not expected to live.

He wishes to see you.

He is at my house.

Come immediately.
"LIZZY HUNTER.".
