"And what's Lilac settled to do about going?" "You know as much about that as we do, Mr Snell," replied Mrs Greenways loftily. "There's no doubt," continued the cobbler, fixing his eye upon her, "as how Mrs Leigh's friend is going to get a prize in Lilac White.
That very afternoon, on her return from Jocelyn's studio to Miss Leigh's little house in Kensington which she now called her "home" she found a reply-paid telegram from her publishers, running thus: "Eminent journalist John Harrington reviews book favourably in evening paper suggesting that you are the actual author.

"Well, my dear, that won't hurt you!" and an encouraging smile brightened Miss Leigh's pleasantly wrinkled face. "You shall see the rooms. But you have not told me your name yet."
