She said she would send anything for me, and I could not think of any one I wanted to write to, so I wrote to to him. 'Ah!
She lives at The Grange, Oatlands." Dr. Lambert seemed somewhat taken aback by his daughter's speech. "Edna Sefton! Why, that is Eleanor Sefton's daughter! What a strange coincidence!" And then he muttered to himself, "Eleanor Sartoris' daughter under our roof! I wonder what Dora will say?"
