I found that my sister and Mrs.Cliff had made up their minds that they would perish in about two days, and Mrs.Cliff had been making her will with a lead-pencil, and now they are just as high up as they were low down before.

My sister will be wild to come to this lake before long, even if Mrs.Cliff does not care to try it.
