Enid had packed her best linen in her cedar chest and had put the kitchen and china closets in scrupulous order before she went away.
And when I bring you to at fall of night, you will think you have been drunk all day. But where will I keep you in the meantime?" This was a most perplexing problem. There were no closets in the suite of offices. There were no boxes, no desks big enough to conceal a man and Mr.
