Away at the west end of the street, where the village church lifted its slim grey tower above the tree tops, stood the Manse. It was an old, grey, brick house with green shutters and a sagging veranda; and like all the other houses it was surrounded by a wide, green lawn and a gay, flower garden. On the veranda, under the heavy Virginia creepers, sat the busiest person in the village - a very small girl, strain ing every nerve to accomplish the hemming of a very large towel. To say that Janet Meldrum sat is scarcely correct; ex cept as a robin may be said to sit on a twig, on a warm April morning when the rain has just ceased. Her shining eyes, her restless little brown hands, her small thin body, even the long, heavy braid of brown hair, that hung almost to the hem of her pink gingham dress, were all alive and eager and in constant motion. Beside her low chair lay a little fox-terrier, dividing his time between taking very short naps and watching his mis tress to see what fun was coming next.
