I cannot put it
into words. But Ephraim? My darling, at present, not for some days,
if I were you I would not talk about Ephraim. You will be happier so.
No. He is alive and getting well, so far as I know. There has been no
later news than yours. Don't look so alarmed. Only this: the 'boys'
have taken some queer notion about our 'Forty-niner,' and so I say he
is probably happier just where he is to-night than if he were back at
Sobrante."
"Oh! mother! Another mystery? and about such a simple, honest, splendid
old fellow as my Ephraim? Well, never mind. I seem to be sent into the
world to solve other people's 'mysteries,' and I'll solve his."
Eventually she did. But how and when cannot be told here. This is a story
which must be related another time. But for the time Jessica was happy
and all went well.
