`` You must come in and see me every day , Katie , my dear , '' said the old lady , as the two visitors left . And from that time the desolate widow , the homeless wanderer , found loving and tender friends , and a comfortable and quiet home . Meanwhile the visitors that had left Blue Cliffs that morning traveled together until they reached Richmond . The train got in at ten o'clock that night . There was no steamboat to Mount Ascension Island until the next day . So the party for that bourne were compelled to spend the night at Richmond . Alden , although he might have gone on to Charlottesville that night , determined to remain with his friends .
