At a quarter to ten o'clock the four girls escorted Eleanor to the "Tourraine," returning just inside the half-past ten o'clock limit.
"Well, what do you think of Eleanor, Elfreda ?" asked Grace, stopping for a moment outside the room shared by Miriam and Elfreda before going to her own.
"Don't ask me," rejoined Elfreda fervently.

"I can't thank you girls enough for the good time I've had to-night.

But I want to say that if there is anything I can do for any of you, just count on J.Elfreda Briggs to do it." "It isn't necessary for you to tell us that, Elfreda," said Anne.

"We know that you are true blue, and so does Eleanor." "Does she really like me ?" asked Elfreda eagerly.
"She likes you very much," interposed Grace.

"She said so." "Then I'm going to give a luncheon for her to-morrow afternoon at Vinton's," declared Elfreda with shining eyes.
