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.
