we never know how we are going out a peaceful ending is to be a good way even in sudden. Mrs Barry met Anna Lamb in the store yesterday. She is poorly no strength to do her work. She wants her to come down to see her. She congratulated her on selling those pictures + she told her that they asked her to set her price + they doubled it + told her they were worth it. So you see they were true blue. Maude told me she had to got to decid pretty soon what she has got to do. I asked her of she could'nt rent rooms she dont have the least idea what to do. She had a chance to se her house right after Ralph died. Its a great pity she hadn't taken up with her offer. But Sophie told her Ralph said "tell Maude not to be in any hurry about selling the house", all tosh we thought.
