Graydon had returned for a brief visit, and had joined Mr.and Mrs.Muir at a seaside inn.

"A Miss Wildmere is staying here also," her sister wrote, "and, somewhat to Mr.Muir's disapproval, Graydon seems not only well acquainted with her, but unusually friendly.

Mr.Muir says that if she is like her father she is a 'speculator'; and from the attention she receives and the way she receives it one would think he was right.

Graydon, however, seems to be her favorite, and if he could remain long enough it is not hard to see what might happen.

But she is a great belle and a coquette too, I should imagine, and she has a large enough following to turn any girl's head.
