CHAPTER III
MARY SCOTT'S TWO VISITORS
"I AM sure," he said, "that Selina would consider this most improper."
"You are quite right," Mary assured him, laughing. "It was one of the first things she mentioned. When I told her that I should ask any one to tea I liked she was positively indignant."
"It is hard to believe that you are cousins," he remarked.
"We were brought up very differently."
He looked around him. He was in a tiny sitting-room of a tiny flat high up in a great building. Out of the window he seemed to look down upon the Ferris wheel. Inside everything was cramped but cosy. Mary Scott sat behind the tea-tray, and laughed at his expression.
"I will read your thoughts," she exclaimed. "You are wondering how you will get out of this room without knocking anything over."
"On the contrary," he answered, "I was wondering how I ever got in."
"You were really very clever. Now do have some more tea, and tell me all the news."
