She began to cultivate the social life of her church; went to Christian
Endeavor meetings, socials, and Y.M.C.A. addresses. She made Morton go
with them too, half dragging, half coaxing him; and soon the three, so
dissimilar, yet all so intelligent and well-bred, came to be looked upon
as most necessary factors in entertainments and social events.
When Sarah left Killamet, though she wore her white cross, she did not
change her membership into any new circle of King's Daughters, but still
remained one of Miss Prue's "Helpful Ten," as they called themselves in
that little town. Now she and Molly joined a Dartmoor circle, and were
soon known as active working members.
All this took time, thought, and money; and many times it was a puzzle
to find the latter, though she had been drawing a slight advance in
salary for several months, and Morton, by working in the college
laboratory at odd hours, was now earning enough to clothe himself.
Yet, even with an occasional extra cheque for her published articles,
the expenses were so increased that she often had difficulty to meet
them; though, to Sara's great credit be it said, the girl had never
allowed herself a useless debt. She dare not; the very thought
frightened her, and Providence having blessed her with health, and
simple wants, it had been possible to live within her income.
