Leslie.

He is in Florence!

Weaver.

Master finished his business in Rome a little sooner than he expected, and we made a rush, ma’am, for the night train. Getting in so very early this morning, master thought it best to go to the Hôtel de la Paix for an hour or two.

Leslie.

Thought it best to go to the Hôtel de la Paix! Oh, there must be some reason!

Weaver.

[Handing a letter to Leslie.] The reason is, ma’am, that master is bringing a visitor home with him and didn’t think it right to take you quite unprepared.

Leslie.

A visitor?
