In the meantime Mrs. Jones had been caring for the fragile and apathetic Mildred O’Leary girl just as she had promised to the young girls parents the same day she had first come there or more than a week of her stay and several days since, but with as much affection and her own stark sense of conviction to carry this out to the fullest extent it could, though Millie, had by then been up and about inside the household and even so much as going outside on the porch to sit for a time just to let the breeze or fresh air sweep over her as Mrs. Jones had delicately suggested to her, but the girl saying hardly anything or since that other strange man and occupant of the household the shady Mr. Wyatt Cobb had carried her back upon finding her in that awful condition as he had.

Holding onto the note after reading it, however, the mother would only sit down in her daughters chair to look out the window not knowing still of why all this was happening, or so much as having the reason to understand it.
