CHAPTER XIV
7/50

Jane is coming!--You don't know Jane?
My friend, you know, in Winnipeg.

You must have often heard me speak of her .-- What ?--Brown .-- No, Brown, B-r-o-w-n.

And she's coming to-morrow .-- No, her father is with her .-- Yes, Dr.Brown of Winnipeg .-- Oh, yes.

Isn't it splendid ?--Three days only, far too short.
And we meet her to-morrow .-- I beg your pardon ?--Sixteen-forty-five, she says, and she is always right.

Oh, a change in the time table is there ?--Yes, I will hold on .-- Sixteen-forty-five, I might have known .-- What do you say ?--Oh, could you?
Oh, dear Mrs.Waring-Gaunt, how perfectly splendid of you! But are you sure you can ?--Oh, you are just lovely .-- Yes, she has one trunk, but that can come in the democrat.
