Patty's face fell. "I'm not sure, Mother," she said, rather hesitatingly. "The truth is, I'm afraid Muriel doesn't want me to go.

"That a gentleman, whom I had reason to think in short, that a man, whom I knew to be engaged but how shall I tell you?

He ought to do well in your railroad field." "Yes," replied the Convener hesitatingly. "You think he ought to go? Windermere will be furious. I wouldn't care to go in there after Boyle is removed."
"Miss Ida," said a voice that made her start and crimson in spite of herself, "may I come out and talk with you a little while?" and she saw that Van Berg was speaking to her through the window blinds of one of the private parlors. "Yes," she said hesitatingly, "if you think it is best."
