"If you've no further use for me, captain, I think I'll go."
"Just one moment, Mrs. Jeffries," he said.
The face of the elevator boy suddenly brightened up.
"That's it," he said eagerly. "That's it—Jeffries. I think that was the name she gave, sir."
"Who?" demanded the captain.
"Not this lady," said the boy. "The other lady. I think she said Jeffries, or Jenkins, or something like that."
The captain waved his hand toward the door.
"That's all right—go. We'll find her all right."
The boy went out and the captain turned round to Annie.
"It'll be rather a pity if it isn't you," he said, with a suggestive smile.
