Chapter III
"And I suppose this old house has many memories for you?" said Cora, softly. "Not very many. My, old-maid aunt didn't like me overmuch, I believe; and I wasn't here often. My mother and I lived far down the street. A big apartment-house stands there now, I noticed as I was walking out here this afternoon--the `Verema,' it is called, absurdly enough!"
