A Canadian Heroine, Volume 2
Mrs. Costello had felt it a kind of reprieve when she heard from Mr.Strafford that they might delay their journey safely for a month. Thesober middle age which had come upon her before its time, as her liferolled on out of the anguish and tumult of the past, made home andquietness the most desirable things on earth to her, and her health andspirits, neither yet absolutely broken, but both strained almost to theextent of their endurance, unfitted her for the changes and excitementsof long travel. So she clung to the idea of delay with an unacknowledgedhope that some cause might deliver them from their present terrors, andyet suffer them to remain at Cacouna.
