"You say it all, so we don't need to," laughed Mrs. Albright.
"They are beauties, that's a fact!"
Miss Crilly sat down, her eyes still on the flowers. "I don't see a card anywhere," she nodded. "Ain't that proof positive?" winking toward Mrs. Albright.
"There was none," smiled Miss Sterling.
"You don't mean you don't know who sent 'em?" Miss Crilly queried.
"Just that. Either the sender forgot to put in her card or she didn't wish me to know."
"I bet 't isn't a 'her'!" giggled Miss Crilly. "Don't you, Mis'
Albright?"
That lady twinkled her answer. "I shouldn't wonder."
A soft knock sent Miss Sterling to the door, and Miss Castlevaine came in.
Miss Crilly showed off the roses with all the pride of a possessor.
"I guess I saw them down in the lower hall," smiled Miss
Castlevaine knowingly. "There was a long box on the desk."
