"Seems to me I'd have waited a little longer for look's sake.

Can you see what she's got on from here ?" and the lady made a rush for the window to ascertain if possible that important fact.
Meantime the carriage steps were let down and Mrs.Campbell alighted.
As Mrs.Knight's guests had surmised, she was far more ready to visit Mary now than heretofore.

Ella, too, had been duly informed by her waiting-maid that she needn't mind denying that she had a sister to the Boston girls who were spending a summer in Chicopee.
"To be sure," said Sarah, "she'll never be a fine lady like you and live in the city; but then Mrs.Mason is a very respectable woman, and will no doubt put her to a trade, which is better than being a town pauper; so you mustn't feel above her any more, for it's wicked, and Mrs.Campbell wouldn't like it, for you know she and I are trying to bring you up in the fear of the Lord." Accordingly Ella was prepared to greet her sister more cordially than she had done before in a long time, and Mary that day took her first lesson in learning that too often friends come and go with prosperity.
But she did not think of it then.

She only knew that her sister's arm was around her neck, and her sister's kiss upon her cheek.

With a cry of joy, she exclaimed, "Oh, Ella, I knew you'd be glad to find me so happy." But Ella wasn't particularly glad.
