"Father, dear," said Lucille. "Archie has got an idea." "Archie?" said Mr. Brewster incredulously. "This is me," said Archie, indicating himself with a spoon. "The tall, distinguished-looking bird." "What new fool-thing is he up to now?" "It's a splendid idea, father. He wants to help you over your new hotel." "Wants to run it for me, I suppose?" "By Jove!" said Archie, reflectively.
I don't want the whole of New York to know about my engagement, and have somebody spilling the news to father, before I'm ready." "That's all right," said Lucille. "Archie can speak to him. There's no need for him to mention your name at all. He can just say there's a girl he wants to get a part for. You would do it, wouldn't you, angel-face?" "Like a bird, queen of my soul."

"I guess so," nodded the latter, aroused out of his crustiness by Andy's enthusiasm. "That Lucille was famous, once.

Sunshine soon came back to Mrs. Harris's face, and she began to notice the people about her, and to realize that she was actually on shipboard. Foreign travel had been the dream of her life; and she felt comforted to have Alfonso and Lucille beside her. "Mrs.
"I I," the girl finally attained a quick, flurried utterance, "want to thank you for for having this this talk with me." "What do you want to talk about, Miss Sloane?" The low, metallic voice was neither friendly nor hostile. It expressed, more than anything else, a sardonic, bullying self-sufficiency. It both angered and encouraged Lucille.
