"I expect Mrs. Delane doesn't approve of you at all," remarked Philip.
"No, nor of my friends either," answered Dale, flinging himself into a chair.
"Well, my dear," said Mrs. Hodge, who sat by, "her opinion will neither make us nor mar us."
"How have we had the misfortune to offend the lady?" inquired Philip. "She has never seen us."
"Here's your tea, Dale," said Nellie. "Are you tired?"
"Yes, a little. Thanks, Nellie."
"Was she looking nice, Dale?"
"I didn't see her."
"I mean Miss Delane."
