Jewel: A Chapter in Her Life Page 27
Jewel's eyes questioned Eloise that evening when she reached home,and she received the smiling, significant nod her cousin gave her withsatisfaction.
It was an apparently united family party that gathered about thedinner table. Mr. Evringham and Eloise discussed their game, while Mrs.Evringham fairly rustled with complacence.
As Jewel clung to her grandfather's neck that evening in bidding himgood-night, she whispered:--
"How happy we all are!"
"Are we, really? Well now, that's very gratifying, I'm sure. Good-night,Jewel."
