The other ladies put down their cups to say their goodbyes.  Mrs. Ripley stood up and smiled.  "I am so glad you came by and please do come over any time you would like.  And let your mother know that I will be contacting her soon.  I so want to catch up with her as well."

Jane motioned to her maid to be ready to move the chair.  "Oh, yes, thank you.  I have so enjoyed the visit, and I look forward to the outing on Wednesday."
