Chapter XVIII
Florence had not lost herself in the forest. Though she had not the slightest notion what shore she stood on at the time she brought the gypsy child back to life, she experienced little difficulty in finding her way back to her cabin. Two hours had not elapsed when once more she sat before her own fire, drinking strong coffee and relating her adventure to Jeanne. “But the poor gypsy child!” Jeanne exclaimed as she finished.
