Fan Loomis came in to help nurse in the day-time, and Quin was on duty through the long, suffocating August nights. At the end of the week Cass's condition was so serious that the Bartletts insisted on keeping the children at the farm. Myrna had proved a cheery, helpful little companion, and Edwin, while more difficult to handle, was picking up flesh and color, and was learning to run the car.
"Lucy, you come and look at the cypresses; and the church, whatever its name is, still shows." "San Miniato. I'll just finish your sock." "Signorino, domani faremo uno giro," called the cabman, with engaging certainty. George told him that he was mistaken; they had no money to throw away on driving. And the people who had not meant to help the Miss Lavishes, the Cecils, the Miss Bartletts!
Then, as she finished, she added in a whisper: "Tell Nell somebody sent his love." "Nothing doing," laughed Quin with a superior shrug; "somebody else is taking his." The curb was lined with automobiles by the time he arrived at the Bartletts'. The house looked strangely unfamiliar with its blaze of lights and throng of arriving guests.
The great house stood on a hilltop quite two miles from the station, and cut into the immense iron door standing guard to the grounds was the name "Bartlett Villa."

He was going to write her to-night and tell her the whole story and spare her nothing. But he did not write. When he reached home Cass had had a turn for the worse, and there were ice-baths to prepare and other duties to perform that left him no time for himself. The next day Edwin and Myrna were sent out to the Randolph Bartletts', and Rose and Quin cleared the decks for the hard fight ahead.
This had met with theoretical sympathy; the Bartletts, Diva, Irene, the Poppits had all agreed rather absently that it would be a very proper thing to do, but the very next Thursday they had all, including the originator, met on Mr. Wyse's doorstep for a luncheon-party, and the movement then and there collapsed.
Eleanor was surprised to find that Quin, while ignorant of the meaning of the word technic nevertheless had decided and worth-while opinions about every detail, and that his comments were often startlingly pertinent. They reached the Bartletts' before they knew it, and Quin sighed ruefully: "I wish Miss Enid and Mr. Chester could get married every Wednesday! When can I see you again?"
