ABSTRACT
There was only the publishers’ letter to wait for now. Priscilla would sell the copyright of The Book of the Great City. The sum down would help them to take the little shop at Frodsham, then she and Dunstane would begin life again – grocer and tea-dealer; and Miss Cardrew would live with them and have a share in the business. Priscilla had decided that she would not allow Cardie to spend all her savings upon them. But she knew her story was good … There would be no difficulty in getting that sum down … If the letter would only come! There was so little time; her life was slipping from her, the clutching fingers had no strength to hold it.
