She looked from Anna, who was far too nice-looking to be travelling about alone, to that reassuring pile of luggage, and wrinkled her brows thoughtfully. "Of course," she said diffidently, "this is a boarding-house, although we never take in promiscuous travellers.

Mary Ellen, opening the door at this moment, prevented a scuffle, though I was in too happy a mood to quarrel with any one. Mrs. Handsomebody was surprisingly civil about our visit.
