Remember that the girls must be absolutely trustworthy, and the stenographer who will be placed in the office of Mr. Rockamore must be particularly expert." After the detective had taken his departure, Anita Lawton descended quickly to the office of the secretary. "Emily," she asked, "is Loretta Murfree in, or Fifine Déchaussée?" "I think they both are, Miss Lawton. Shall I ring for them?"
In its place were two deep hollows rimmed about by dark lines, from out which flashed two points of cold steel light. I sprang from my gondola and held out my hand: "Sit down, Loretta, and let me talk to you." She stopped, looked at me in a dazed sort of way, as if she was trying to focus my face so as to recall me to her memory, and said in a determined way: "No, let me pass.
Then the gondola swayed as if a barca had bumped it, and the next thing I knew Luigi's body made a curve through the air, struck the water, with an enormous souse, and up came Loretta, her plump, wet little body resting as easily on Luigi's hand, as a tray rests on a waiter's. Another sweep with his free arm, and he passed me the dripping child and clambered up beside her.
He confused superficiality with profundity, and entangled appearance with reality until he accounted them one. Loretta was different from other women. There was no masquerade about her. She was real. He said as much to Mrs. Hemingway, and more, who agreed with him and at the same time caught her husband's eyelid drooping down for the moment in an unmistakable wink.

I'd take it for the experience alone, without the salary, and jump at the chance, even if you weren't concerned in it at all, but if it would be doing you a service at the same time, I'm more than glad." "Thank you, Loretta. The position will be with an associate of my father's, I think, President Mallowe of the Street Railways.
He has been talking to the fish-people, to everybody on the side street, saying that Loretta was his old shoes that he left at his door, and the fool Vittorio found them and put them on that sort of talk." "And Vittorio believes it?"

They came home google-eyed and had to feel their way into the Domicile. Tuesday A. M. dawned overcast with shifting winds from the N. E.. Loretta pried herself away from the third Waffle in order to hike to the corner and jack up Mr.
If you ask me for how many years I have been sole owner of this stretch of water I must refer you to Loretta, who had lived just five summers when my big gondolier, Luigi, pulled her dripping wet from the canal, and who had lived eleven more sixteen, in all when what I have to tell you happened. And yet, Loretta's little mishap, now I come to think of it, does not go back far enough.
One Monday Morning a range and well-conditioned Elfin of the Young Unmarried Set, yclept Loretta, emerged into the Sunlight and hit the Concrete Path with a ringing Heel. This uncrowned Empress of the 18th Ward was a she-Progressive assaying 98 per cent. pure Ginger. Instead of trailing the ever onward Parade, she juggled the Baton at the head of the Push.
