She rears that "Fairy Gold" is the last story of any length she can write for the Ave Maria. The volume "Tales For Eventide", which Hudson sent her make her regret that her...

Scope and Contents Tiernan was delighted to find that she had misunderstood Hudson and that there was hope of Hudson's issuing her books.
