An aunt lived with her, to lend dignity and chaperonage to her position; but she managed her own affairs, social and financial, for herself.

Because it had taken them three months to make the Marinata villa decently habitable, was that any reason for tempting the wilderness again? Lucy, too, had her misgivings.

Bassett was beyond Harwood's reach, so he obeyed, not without chafing of spirit, these commands of Marian. He was conscious that people pointed her out in the restaurant as Morton Bassett's daughter, and he did not like the responsibility of this unauthorized chaperonage. Mrs. Bassett was going to a sanatorium as soon as she was able to move; but for three weeks Marian was on Harwood's hands.
I have arranged to have a lady in residence who will look after them and do what chaperonage is needful. If Monday will suit you, I should like them to arrive on that day." It sounded more like a command than an invitation, but such as it was it thrilled the listeners with joy.
