I'm quite sure she is not expecting you," Miss Grierson went on to explain ponderously and elaborately, but with politeness, for this young man was handsome and pleasant and well-bred and might prove to be some one of real importance.

She seemed quite eager for it herself. She had such heaps to tell him, she declared, that she never had time to put into a letter.
