"In the Border Country"
W. S. (William Shillinglaw) Crockett
She did not expect them before evening; nevertheless, in the forenoon she sallied out, and stopping in the market on her way to buy a large bunch of roses, walked to Johnson's Court, where the door was opened to her by her own cook-maid-a fearless, middle-aged scotswoman who did not mind inhabiting an empty house, and whom she had sent to Uncle Matthew on the eve of his departure, as well to get her out of the way as to relieve him of his search for a carekeeper.
"Hetty Wesley"
Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch
