“I’m going away to-night for a few days––perhaps for two weeks,” he told Nora.
“Yes, sir.”
“I’ll wire you what my plans are––either to-morrow or next day.”
“And it is to be soon, sir?”
“I can’t tell you for sure, Nora, until I’ve cleared up one or two little matters; but––you can wish me luck, anyway.”
“I’ll do that, sir.”
“And the house is ready, isn’t it?”
“Everything is ready, sir.”
“That’s fine. Now I’m going to pack.”
