"Aunt Hopper," she cried, appearing again at the door, " I truly am very, very sorry. Do try to believe it. And I wish--I wish you would let me come and see you once in a while, now that you know I haven't any motive. May I?" In the warmth of the good impulse she drew nearer, she even knelt down, and took the old, withered hand. "I shall never expect any thing, you know." "You would have made a splendid actress, Christie," murmured Christina. Aunt Hopper drew her hand away. "You will do as you choose, I suppose," said she peevishly; she was getting tired.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
