She would have given she would have given a year of her life one of her fingers all her knowledge of history anything! if the Marshalls had possessed what she felt any decently prosperous grocer's family ought to possess a well-appointed maid in the hall to open the door, take Mrs. Fiske's card, show her into the living-room, and go decently and in order to summon the mistress of the house.
