Chapter XII
When they were gone, Sue looked down at the check in her hand. Yesterday, in the heat of a just resentment, she had boasted a new freedom. What had come of it was twelve hours without the presence of her mother--twelve hours shared with Hattie and Farvel. They had been happy hours, for strangely enough Hattie had needed little cheering. It was Farvel who easily accomplished wonders with her.
