"I told him you wouldn't, but he's going to make you an offer, anyhow. Oh, by the way!"
"What is it, sir?"
"I nearly forgot that Miss Gladys March, who, with the rest of the company, came with me this morning, is very anxious to have a talk with you."
"With me? Aren't you mistaken, Mr. Wattles?"
"No; she asked me to tell you as soon as I saw you, but I did not think of it."
"What can she want of me?"
"I give it up."
"I don't know her; I never spoke to her in my life."
"So I thought. Well, the best way to find out what she wants is to go and ask her. You'll find her upstairs in her room."
"I'll go at once."
