CHAPTER XI
ARABELLA MAKES A CALL
ARABELLA peered at Floretta through her spectacles, and was tempted not to reply, but after a moment's pause she changed her mind.
"I came to see Dorothy Dainty, and Nancy Ferris," she said.
"They're out driving," said Floretta.
"How do you know?" Arabella asked, rudely.
"Because I heard them say they were going, and because I saw them go," was the quick reply.
"It's a long way over here, and now I've got to take the same walk back," said Arabella.
"They're going to be out all the afternoon," said Floretta, "but why don't you sit down, and rest a while before you go back?"
