Excerpt from A Wilful Young Woman, Vol. 2 Mrs. Dacie was not reported so very ill. Likely as not, calculated Sydney, knowing her well, her new malady was only a great restless home-sickness that could easily make prey of such a housemother as she, for close on forty years, had been. If only this, then the magic of the gold stored away in Sydney's purse would soon furnish the medicine of speedy return. If by ill hap anything more serious impended, still the coming fulness of that same purse would surely be able to level some difficulties, smooth some cares away.
