Dear, dear! Olivia always sees to my shopping and flowers and everything executive, but I can't let her go into these frightful places, can I ?" There was a rustling at the far end of the room, and some one entered.

St.George did not turn, but as her soft skirts touched and lifted along the floor he was tinglingly aware of her presence.

Even before Mrs.Hastings heard her light footfall, even before the clear voice spoke, St.George knew that he was at last in the presence of the arbiter of his enterprise, and of how much else he did not know.
He was silent, breathlessly waiting for her to speak.
"May I come in, Aunt Dora ?" she said.

"I want to know to what place it is impossible for me to go ?" She came from the long room's boundary shadow.
