Madame Fauconnier declared she had had a very disappointing meal; at home she could have had a finger-licking dish for only two francs.

"Not in, Miss," was the disappointing information Grace received from the maid who answered the door at Morton House. "Did she leave word when she would return?" questioned Grace. "She did not, Miss. She went out with Miss Denton, and didn't say nothin', Miss," was the discouraging reply. "An' will I tell her you was askin' for her, Miss?" "No; I may come again this evening."
