"People do, I think," Margaret said thoughtfully, "because we're both fair." She did not say that but for Mrs. Carr-Bolt's invaluable maid the likeness would have been less marked, on this score at least. "I taught school," she went on simply, "and Mrs. Carr-Bolt happened to come to my school, and she asked me to come to her." He was eyeing her amusingly; the direct question came quite naturally.
It all came about very simply. One of the aforementioned bridge players wondered if Mrs. Carr-Bolt and her niece oh, wasn't it? her secretary then, would like to hear a very interesting young American professor lecture this morning? wondered, when they were fanning themselves in the airy lecture-room, if they would care to meet Professor Tension?
She would always remember a certain filmy silk striped gown, a wide hat loaded with daisies; always love the odor of linden trees in the spring. Sometimes the professor went with them on their morning drive, to be dropped at the lecture-hall with Margaret and Mrs. Carr-Bolt.
Carr-Bolt your mother's or your father's sister?" John Tension asked, watching his companion with approval. "Oh, good gracious!" said Margaret, laughing over her teacup. "Haven't I told you yet that I'm only her secretary? I never saw Mrs. Carr Bolt until five years ago." "Perhaps you did tell me. But I got it into my head, that first day, that you were aunt and niece "
Carr-Bolt chanced to know. He was frankly delighted at the chance that had brought him in contact with these charming people; and as Mrs. Carr-Bolt took an instant fancy to him, and as he was staying at their own hotel, they saw him after that every day, and several times a day. Margaret would come down the great sun-bathed stairway in the morning to find him patiently waiting in a porch chair.
Her heart would give a great leap half joy, half new strange pain, as she recognized him. There would be time for a chat over their fruit and eggs before Mr. Carr-Bolt came down, all ready for a motor-trip, or Mrs. Carr-Bolt, swathed in cream-colored coat and flying veils, joined them with an approving "Good-morning."
