I was with the rest of the family on the golf links a short distance from the house, and it was some time before she got a chance to speak to me, but she managed at last.
"How did she take the news ?" I eagerly asked.
The girl hesitated.

"I don't think I ought to tell you all she said and did.

It was really a private interview between us two, and I know she would not want me to say much about it.

And I don't think you would want to hear everything." I hastened to assure her that I would not ask for the particulars of the conversation.

I only wished to know the general effect of the message upon her.
