Are you going to mention that you attended this entertainment when you write to Muriel ?" Sylvia pondered her reply.

In spite of its dullness, Mrs.Lansing's house was a comfortable and secure retreat.

She would have to go back to it presently, and it was desirable that she should avoid any cause of disagreement with her hostess.
"No," she said candidly; "I don't see any need for that; and I may not write for some time.

Of course, Muriel doesn't quite look at things as I do, and on one or two points she's unusually sensitive." Herbert looked amused.
"You're considerate; and I dare say you're right.

There doesn't seem to be any reason why Muriel should concern herself about the thing, particularly as you're in Susan's hands." The implied promise that he would not mention his having seen her afforded Sylvia some relief, but when he went away to speak to Mrs.
Kettering, she wished she had not met him.
