That summer Mrs. Kemlo received a letter from her elder daughter; she was ill and helpless; she wanted her mother, and the children wanted her.

“They need me now,” she said to Marjorie, with a quiver of the lip, “and nobody else seems to.  When one door is shut another door is opened.”

And then the question came up, what should Linnet and Marjorie do with their father’s home?  And then the Holmeses came to Middlefield for the summer in time to solve the problem.  Mrs. Holmes would purchase it for their summer home; and, she whispered to Marjorie, “When Prue marries the medical student that papa admires so much, we old folks will settle down here and be grandpa and grandma to you all.”

In time Linnet gave up “waiting for Will,” and began to think of him as waiting for her.  And, in time, they all knew God’s will concerning them; as you may know if you do the best you can before you see it clearly.

THE END.
