"No," replied Ida May calmly. "What store did you work in?" "Hoskin & Marl's," said the girl, still unruffled. "To be sure. That's what Esther Coffin said she heard, I remember.

Suddenly Miss Laurence said 'This way, and she went through a door marked 'Students only. Mr. Hoskin held the door open for her, they went down some stone steps looking on a courtyard. Mr. Hoskin said, 'I always think of Peter De Hooch when I go down these stairs.
"Tunis!" she murmured with clasped hands. "Yesterday I spent two hours in the manager's office of Hoskin & Marl's. They have been looking for you for more than six months. Naturally, there was no record of you after you left that that school when your time was out. They didn't seem to guess you'd have got work in that Seller's place." "What do you mean?
