'That night,' I said hesitatingly, 'when Mr. Glover was at your house----'
'Oh,' she interrupted in a sharp tone, Mr. Glover! Well, what night?'
'A little while ago, when Jessie was there, and I was not. Did he pay her great attention?'
'Of course he did.'
'Did he seem fond of her?'
'It wouldn't have been natural otherwise,' she replied, with a suspicious look at me. 'Of course he seemed fond of her. Anything more?'
'No,' I said, with a sigh; 'that's all.'
I kissed my mother, and left the room. Her loving eyes followed me to the door.
