“I’m glad you could come, Don,” she said. “But where in the world have you been all day?”
“Downtown,” he answered. “I’m with Carter, Rand & Seagraves now.”
He made the announcement with considerable pride.
“Poor Don!” she murmured. “But, if you’re going to do that sort of thing, I suppose you might as well be with them as any one. I wonder if that Seagraves is Dolly Seagraves’s father.”
For a second he was disappointed––he had expected more enthusiasm from her.
“I haven’t met the families of the firm yet,” he answered.
“I thought you knew Dolly. I’ll ask her up for my next afternoon, to meet you.”
“But I can’t come in the afternoon, Frances.”
“How stupid! You’re to be downtown all day?”
