"I represent the manager," the newcomer returned.
"Very well, then," said Loveland. "I want you to tell me the meaning of this." And he indicated the typewritten letter and the two bills, which he had laid conspicuously on the table.
The man scarcely glanced at the papers, about which he was evidently well informed already. "The meaning is, that unfortunately we're obliged to request that you vacate this suite immediately," he replied.
"Then, this notice is actually intended for me?"
"It certainly is."
"Why were the rooms let to me this morning if they were wanted tonight?"
"That I can't say. I only know they are wanted."
"Suppose I refuse to go?"
"Oh, I guess you won't do that."
"You're right," said Val. "I wouldn't stop here now if you paid me twelve times as much as you want me to pay you. And, by the way—I can't pay tonight. You'll have to wait till tomorrow, when I can get to the—er—bank."
