And with this trifle that looks as if it were made for the lips, it is possible to blow up an edifice!" . . .
"I think she is entertaining a friend," Curran said, hinting plainly at a surprise. "Let her bring the friend along," was the careless answer. The two women entered presently, and Edith made the introduction. The husband and wife stood face to face at last.
