Chapter XIII
RUMORS. Hardly was it completed, when Cousin Judy called, and I went down to see her, carrying my baby with me. As I went, something put me in mind that I must ask her for Miss Clare's address. Lest I should again forget, as soon as she had kissed and admired the baby, I said,-- "Have you found out yet where Miss Clare lives, Judy?" "I don't choose to find out," she answered.
