Mrs. Adams was frank enough to say, rather triumphantly; and Alice, with a lowered head, murmured: "Anybody would." The words were all but inaudible. "Don't you worry," her mother said, and patted her on the shoulder.

At once he knew that his first surmise, that the Girl was an American, had been correct. Not that his experience in life had furnished him with any parallel, for the Girl constituted a new and unique type.
