"'Tell your sister I'll call at four to-morrow,' says he.
"We had another drink and he wished me good afternoon, and I ran all the way down here," said Terence, evidently immensely pleased with himself.
"You have done well, Terence," said Hal, and Reg shook him warmly by the hand.
"Look here, Terence, we shall want a lady to take the part of your sister to-morrow and receive him. Do you know of a respectable girl who would do it?"
"Well, that all depends. What would she have to do?"
"Nothing more than to receive him."
"Well, I think I know of a lady that will suit. She is my sister. She is a nurse, but is not doing anything now."
"A nurse. That's the very person we want," said Hal, quite pleased at the way things were going.
"She'll come, I suppose, Terence?" asked Reg.
"Yes, sir. She'll do anything I tell her," answered Terence, proudly.
