He wrote : I am going east for a visit . It is six years since I was home , and it seems like three times six . I shall go by the C.P.R. , which passes through Plainfield , and I mean to stop off for a day . You will let me call and see you , wo n't you ? I shall have to take your permission for granted , as I shall be gone before a letter from you can reach the Bar N. I leave for the east in five days , and shall look forward to our meeting with all possible interest and pleasure . Sidney did not sleep that night , but tossed restlessly about or cried in her pillow . She was so pallid and hollow-eyed the next morning that Aunt Jane noticed it , and asked her what the matter was . `` Nothing , '' said Sidney sharply . Sidney had never spoken sharply to her aunt before . The good woman shook her head . She was afraid the child was `` taking something . '' `` Do n't do much today , Siddy , '' she said kindly . `` Just lie around and take it easy till you get rested up . I 'll fix you a dose of quinine . '' Sidney refused to lie around and take it easy . She swallowed the quinine meekly enough , but she worked fiercely all day , hunting out superfluous tasks to do . That night she slept the sleep of exhaustion , but her dreams were unenviable and the awakening was terrible . Any day , any hour , might bring John Lincoln to Plainfield . What should she do ? Hide from him ?
