thought her mistress was an angel in
very slight disguise, and that the rest
of the family were all far superior to
the ordinary run of mortals.
Her indignation was beyond bounds

attached to the Laphams on the second
floor of the apartment house, consId-
cred "her family" far ahead of Nora's
in every way, because of their style Of
dressing.
"She's always talking to me about
their clothes, Mrs Harmon, dear"
said Nora, with hint of tears in her
voice as she set down the heaped
