Excerpt from Heart and Science, Vol. 2 of 3: A Story of the Present
On the afternoon of the clay that followed Ovid's departure, the three ladies of the household were in a state of retirement - each in her own room.
The writing-table in Mrs. Gallilee's boudoir was covered with letters. Her banker's passbook and her cheque-book were on the desk; Mr. Gallilee's affairs having been long since left as completely in the hands of his wife, as if Mr. Gallilee had been dead. A sheet of paper lay near the cheque-book, covered with calculations divided into two columns.
