"Men in the nervous condition I was," he answered, "think all sorts of things, and that is one of the things I thought. Finally I went to Miss Laniston's house again, and this time I found her, and learned what had happened. Then I went to the pier, ordered the trunk sent back here, for I knew there was no question now of the trip to Europe, and here I am."
I did not know Miss Laniston's name, but I have also met her, and talked to her about you, and she knows you used to write for me, and I do not like her." Sylvia answered not a word, but, as she sat and looked at me with wide-open eyes, I told her what had happened since my companion and I had landed at Racket Island. I omitted only my confidences to Mother Anastasia and Miss Laniston.
My plan was carried out; we separated as soon as we reached the city, and in a cab I rattled to Miss Laniston's house. When I reached Miss Laniston's house that lady was at breakfast, but she did not keep me waiting long. "Truly," she said, as she entered the drawing-room, "you are the most expeditious person I ever knew.
Miss Laniston's eyes were of a blue gray, and very fine ones, and she fixed them upon me with a lively intentness. "Do you still hope," she asked, "to marry Sylvia Raynor? Surely you must know that is impossible. She is now a member for life of the sisterhood." "I know all that," I replied impatiently. "It is not about that matter that I wish to see the Mother Superior."
You can go directly to the dock, and attend to the baggage and everything." My under-study sighed, but he knew it was of no use to make any objections. He did not fail, however, to endeavor to impress upon me the importance of consulting my watch while listening to Miss Laniston's communication.
I would not allow our baggage to be put on board, for I knew a conference with a lady was likely to be of indefinite duration, and when at last the steamer sailed, I went immediately to Miss Laniston's house to inform you of the fact, and to find out what you proposed to do; but Miss Laniston was not at home, and the servant told me that a gentleman undoubtedly you had left the house nearly an hour before, and his great haste made her think that he was trying to catch a steamer.
