"I'll think it over," laughed Grace. "Oh, dear!" she exclaimed a moment later, glancing at the little French clock on the chiffonier, "I must go. It is twenty minutes to ten.

"You have an appointment with the Mayor," she reminded him. "I know," he said, glancing at the clock over the door. "Where have you been? where were you this morning?
