She goes to spend a holiday up-country, and here, too, hericily-regular line of conduct seems bound to bring her into conflictwith her free-and-easy-going cousins. After some trying experiences,Gladys finds herself in a position which enables her, for the timebeing, to forget her own troubles, and exert all her strength on behalfof the rest. She comes worthily through the ordeal and earns theaffection of her cousins, and Jack rejoices in the recovery of a lostsister.
