“Robert, you know a boy by the name of Laurence. He comes here with groceries now and then.”
“Yes, I know all about him. He’s in the same store with Boyce.”
“He’s got a sister?”
“Yes. I’ve seen her. A stunning girl.”
“That girl has set her foot on Miss Spicer!”
“What! There must be some mistake about that; they don’t travel the same road.”
“No mistake at all. I know what I’m saying. More than that, she has offended the madam, who is bitter against her.”
“You don’t say so!”
“She is handsome.”
“Stupendously so. Her face fairly took me off my feet.”
