Mrs. Staggchase invited the guests for her luncheon before she spoke of them to Miss Merrivale. "I have asked Mrs. Bodewin Ranger," she explained, "although she is old enough to be your grandmother, because she is the nicest old lady in Boston, and it is a liberal education to meet her." The other guests were Mrs. Frostwinch, Ethel Mott, and Elsie Dimmont. "Elsie Dimmont," Mrs.
"Oh, she'll be sure to speak of it; but you must manage to evade. Let her say, and don't you contradict. She'll say enough, I've no doubt. Very likely she'll abuse it herself; but don't for goodness' sake make the mistake of falling in with her. If you do, it'll be fatal." "But I know Mrs. Frostwinch so slightly," Philip objected, "that I do not see"
You know you are dead, and you have no business consorting with the living in this way." "It is those whom you call dead that are really living," Mrs. Frostwinch retorted smiling. "I brought Berenice so that she might see the vanity of it all." Mrs.
"I admire you for being able to make time serve you instead of serving time like the rest of us," Mrs. Frostwinch said.

"It would be worth while to tell him," Mrs. Frostwinch interpolated, "just to hear his comments."
Frostwinch walking before him in a shimmer of Boston respectability. He had an uneasy feeling that he was passing from one pitfall to another. He was keenly conscious of the richness of the voice of the girl by his side, so that he felt that it was not easy for him to disagree with anything which she said. He let her remark pass without reply.
Ashe is to see Mrs. Frostwinch. You can't be too eloquent in telling her the consequences of Mr. Strathmore's election. If you can get her to write to the men I've named, she can secure them. It won't be amiss to flatter her a little; and above all don't abuse the faith-cure business." "But if she speaks of it," Ashe returned hesitatingly, "what am I to do?"
Fenton also took leave, and Ashe found himself alone with his hostess and Mrs. Crapps. "Mrs. Crapps, Mr. Ashe," Mrs. Frostwinch said. It seemed to him that there was in the manner of Mrs. Frostwinch something of condescension, as if the Faith Healed was a sort of upper servant.
"Perhaps he can make a good statue of America, but if he can it will be because he is so thoroughly the embodiment of the vulgar and pushing side of American character." "Then why in the world are you pushing him?" "Oh, because Mrs. Ranger and Anna Frostwinch want him pushed. I don't know but they may believe in him. Mrs.
