He was determined now to escape from this situation without loss of credit, no matter what the price if escape were possible and he vowed earnestly to himself that hereafter he would take ample pains never to become similarly involved.
Ellen did not like the girl, but she wanted to know people and Mrs. Cartwright had stopped at Las Palmas for some time. As a rule, Clara's friends were good. This, however, was not important.
