"She rang the gong four or five times and got to talking to herself; and then she went up to her room and packed her bag.

Well, we won't let Mr.Adams know anything's the matter till I get a new one." They lunched upon what the late incumbent had left chilling on the table, and then Mrs.Adams prepared to wash the dishes; she would "have them done in a jiffy," she said, cheerfully.
