Daisy lay still, looking very thoughtful.
"What difference does that make? We don't know anyone in France." Hephzibah was plainly shocked. "Why, Hosy!" she protested. "Have you forgotten Little Frank? He is in France somewhere, or he was at last accounts." "Good Lord!" I groaned. Then I got up and went out. I had forgotten "Little Frank" and hoped that she had.
