Colston's voice, for she could guess how matters stood. "However, I am disengaged and I believe Muriel will be here directly." Prescott followed her into a room and made an effort to talk to her until she rose and went out as Muriel entered. The girl, to his surprise, was dressed in furs, and he felt his heart beat when she looked at him with a shy smile.
