Excerpt from A Challenge to Adventure Mrs. Allan's only near relative was a younger sister, Margaret, whom she had not seen since the early days of her marriage, and from whom she heard only when Margaret Law's needs compelled her to ask assistance from the only person who never failed her. As a school-girl, hurrying home to tell the day's adventures, Rosalind learned to know by the quiet of her mother's manner, the anxious look of the brown eyes, when a letter had arrived from Aunt Margie; and, as she grew older, to resent the demands of this unknown aunt upon their slender and uncertain income.
