14/21 Miss Sally must not take back the lung-testers. As he turned in at the gate he saw Mrs.Smith and Susan sitting on the porch, and he took off his hat, and walked smilingly up to them. "I would like to speak to her if she is." "She's in" said Mrs.Smith, "but she is engaged at present. Won't you have a seat and wait ?" Toole passed rapidly through his mind all those who might have business with Miss Sally this morning--the Colonel, Skinner, the editor. It could not be Skinner, for he had just left him, nor the editor, for he knew he was still in his office where he had seen him last. |
