A Lost Lady
In the next few years Niel did not meet much with Mrs. Forrester, which is only in Sweet Water in the summer. Forresters spend winter in Denver and Colorado Springs. He knew Mrs. Forrester liked it, because he always invited him with his uncle for dinner and picnics. Sometimes he saw the Captain take visitors to the house. Black Tom, Judge Pommeroy's servant, waited at the table for a dinner party.

Then the captain fell from his horse and was unable to pursue his career on the railroad track. When he returned to Air Manis, he walked with a stick, heavier and older. Every year Forresters make fewer trips and are absent from shorter homes. Air Manis also doesn't match crop failure. George Adams and his family returned to Massachusetts. Others follow. There were not many visitors to Forrester's house. Niel's father Herbert had to move to Denver for office work, leaving Niel to read the law with his uncle. Niel didn't like the law, but he liked his uncle and adjusted his single room to himself in his uncle's office. The judge is proud of his handsome and intelligent nephew.
One day before Christmas, Mrs. Forrester visited the Judge's law office. Niel heard his musical laughter. He wore a sealskin coat and "bewitched" (p. 37). He invited the Judge and Niel to dinner and asked Black Tom. He asks Niel to take him home. He pushed his cutter home, and he asked his help with their guests, the Ogdens. His daughter, Constance, is a nineteen year old girl, and Mrs. Forrester said that he needed his help to comfort him. Mrs. Forrester took Niel to the living room where the fire was burning and gave him a glass of sherry.
He was happy at home and said how nice they were to stay for Christmas. He mentioned that they were too poor to travel and had more sherry. He asked him to come with his uncle often during the winter to play with them. Niel enjoyed seeing her beauty and elegance, the long pendant earrings of Mr. Forrester's mother. He spoke in a worried voice about Mr. Forrester and said that once he fell after drinking with friends, he hoped Niel would look after him. Niel was very happy with winter, because he had never seen a woman as good as Mrs. Forrester. Every other woman is boring compared to him. He remembered the first time he saw him as a boy, and now he was an adult, he would be included in the company at Forrester's house.
