He looked at her for a moment curiously, as if trying to remember; and then added inconsequently: "How are your friends? There was a Miss Miss I am afraid I have forgotten all the names except your own." "Gertrude Lindsay is staying with us. Do you remember her?" "I think no, I am afraid I do not. Let me see. Was she a haughty young lady?"

"Then what am I to tell him?" "You needn't tell him anything. I'll tell him." I measured this. "Do you mean you'll write ?" Remembering she couldn't, I caught myself up. "How do you communicate?" "I tell the bailiff. HE writes." "And should you like him to write our story?"
