"Is Mr. Dieman so exclusive as that?" asked Edith.
"He is, indeed, Edith. Since his marriage to mother, he has set up in great state, and does nothing but look after his family affairs personally, and transacts other affairs by the way of Mr. Jerey."
"You will vouch for his trustworthiness? at least you can promise that much through what Mr. Dieman represents him to be?"
"Oh, yes; whatever Mr. Dieman says can be relied on."
"Then you may have Mr. Jerey call here at eight o'clock this evening, if he can come."
"Shall I call him now?" asked Star, rising to go to the phone to have a talk with that gentleman.
"Yes. Papa must be in New York by this time; I should know soon, by wire, what Monroe has accomplished," said Edith, as Star was leaving her.
