`` You could n't look anything else , '' laughed Pauline . `` Do n't smile too broadly -- I want you to be looking over the asters with a bit of a dream on your face and in your eyes . If the picture turns out as beautiful as I fondly expect , I mean to put it in my exhibition collection under the title ' A September Dream . ' There , that 's the very expression . When you look like that , you remind me of somebody I have seen , but I ca n't remember who it is . All ready now -- do n't move -- there , dearie , it is all over . '' When Pauline went back to Colchester , she was busy for a month preparing her photographs for the exhibition , while Aunt Olivia renewed her spinning of all the little social webs in which she fondly hoped to entangle the Morgan Knowles and other desirable flies . When the exhibition was opened , Pauline Palmer 's collection won first prize , and the prettiest picture in it was one called `` A September Dream '' -- a tall girl with a wistful face , standing in an old-fashioned garden with her arms full of asters . The very day after the exhibition was opened the Morgan Knowles ' automobile stopped at the Wallace door . Mrs. Wallace was out , but it was Pauline whom stately Mrs. Morgan Knowles asked for . Pauline was at that moment buried in her darkroom developing photographs , and she ran down just as she was -- a fact which would have mortified Mrs. Wallace exceedingly if she had ever known it . But Mrs. Morgan Knowles did not seem to mind at all . She liked Pauline 's simplicity of manner . It was more than she had expected from the aunt 's rather vulgar affectations . `` I have called to ask you who the original of the photograph ' A September Dream ' in your exhibit was , Miss Palmer , '' she said graciously . `` The resemblance to a very dear childhood friend of mine is so startling that I am sure it can not be accidental . '' `` That is a photograph of Ada Cameron , a friend whom I met this summer up in Marwood , '' said Pauline . `` Ada Cameron ! She must be Ada Frame 's daughter , then , '' exclaimed Mrs. Knowles in excitement . Then , seeing Pauline 's puzzled face , she explained : `` Years ago , when I was a child , I always spent my summers on the farm of my uncle , John Frame .
My cousin , Ada Frame , was the dearest friend I ever had , but after we grew up we saw nothing XXXXX each other , for I went with my parents to Europe for several years , and Ada married a neighbour 's son , Alec Cameron , and went out west .
