her inquiring1y, as if he expected her
to help him.
"Oh, Harry's been in England" she
said quickly; and then. with flash

scene Harry had mentioned in his
English experience. Was it at a ball?
The question came to her lips, but
she checked it there She remembered
how Harry had stopped her the night
before with a nod, with a look, from
mentioning that very thing.

on the mantel rang half-past ten. The

spaces before she heard the fine snarl
of the electric bell.
