Chapter V
"So you won’t go with me," William said to Jessie, next morning, when she met him at the depot and gave him the note intended for her grandmother. "No," she replied. "The city is dull as yet, and I’d rather remain here with Ellen." "Oh, yes, Ellen," and William spoke quite indifferently. "Why didn’t she come to bid me good-by?" and he looked curiously at Jessie to see how much she knew.
