it
impossible
to dwell
upon her
predicament
or the
fortune of
the day.
Before
retiring,
however,
she sat
down to
think, and
gave
herself up
to the
most
gloomy
forebodings.
Drouet had
not put in
an
appearance.
She had
had no
word from
any
quarter,
she had
spent a
dollar of
her
precious
sum in
procuring
food and
paying car
fare. It
was
evident
that she
would not
endure
long.
Besides,
she had
discovered
no
resource.
