“Mrs. Lumbard is leaving Miss Frink to-day also,” he said.
Millicent looked up quickly again.
“Why is that? Not leaving Farrandale, I hope,” said the Colonel.
“No. I heard some one say something about the Coopers’. Of course, Mrs. Lumbard has only been visiting Miss Frink.”
“The Coopers’!” echoed Millicent. “Is Mrs. Lumbard going to live at the Coopers’?”
Ogden shrugged his shoulders. “Don’t quote me. I may be all off, but I understood that.”
“Of course, they are Mr. Grimshaw’s cousins,” said the girl reflectively.
“Another one of her satellites,” remarked the old gentleman, smiling. “It was easy to see last evening that Grimshaw’s steady head was all off its balance. I don’t believe you attractive bachelors are going to let that charmer teach very long. One of you will snatch her up.”
“I had to leave her to my rivals last night,” said Ogden. “I probably lost out for good.”
