11/13 It was Mr.Gotobed who had just returned from a visit which he had made, the circumstances of which must be narrated in the next chapter. The Senator lifted his hat and remarked that it was a very fine afternoon. Reginald lifted his hat and assented. "Mr.Morton, sir, I think is out with the ladies, taking a drive." "I will leave a card then." "The old lady is at home, sir, if you wish to see her," continued the Senator following Reginald up to the door. "They are all out,--except herself." As he certainly did not wish to see "herself," he greeted the old woman and left his card. |
