"Why did you come then?"
"Why to see you. Didn't the servant tell you? Didn't she give you my card?"
"Oh, yes." Mrs. Corner's face cleared. "I am glad you came of your own accord. I have enjoyed your call immensely."
"Thank you. Ought I to say Mrs. Corner or grandmother?"
"Grandmother would please me best."
"Then, good-bye, grandmother. I've had a charming time."
"Then, please come again."
"I'd be delighted, I'm sure." Her company manners were in full swing, and she went out after a gracious smile and bow.
"The droll little creature!" exclaimed Mrs. Corner. "I must tell Helen about her. I want to know them all. They interest me." So Jack's call was not without effect.
