When Flyaway knew she was going to New York, it was about as easy to fit her dresses as to clothe a buzzing blue-bottle fly. With spinning head and dancing feet, she was set down, at last, in the cars. "Here we are, all by ourselves, darling, starting off for Gotham.
The sword hung over his defenceless head! too busy for the gad-fly life of the clubs a strong, lonely swimmer in the tide of New York life, he was as yet a comparative stranger to Folly and her motley crew of merry wantons in gay Gotham.
