  • Notes 
    • Excerpt from Kilrogan Cottage: A Novel

      Eleanor smiled. Mrs. North did not seem to her to be so overweighted by' household cares or active employment; but she answered civilly, if a little eon strainedly, Thank you, Mrs. North. I, too, am always busy; for when my father is at home, I seldom leave him; and when he is away, I find many things to keep me occupied in the hours left after my daily duties at Miss Henley's school.
