"I expect he's missed the train," said Denry, coming back. "Anyhow, he isn't here. I may as well show you the rest of the house now." He led her into the hall, which was radiantly lighted.

"Yes, Miss Gladys," he responded in a low voice. "And listen," she went on, "you will come to see Sophie now and then, won't you?" "Yes, yes," he said quickly. "And come some time when I am here."
