"Sure!" she answered eagerly. "I have two dollars here—do you want it?"
"Oh, no!" he laughed. "I was going to offer you some. If you're out of a job you must need it. I can let you have twenty or so easy." He put his hand into his pocket.
She hesitated for a moment, then she said:
"I don't know but I could use it, Dougal, if you can spare it as well as not."
"I'm flush this week." He handed her a gold double eagle.
"Granthope will lend me all I want, or I could get it from Blanchard, but somehow I hate to take it from them. Of course, it's all right, and they have plenty, but I'd feel better borrowing of you, you know."
"That's the best thing you've said yet," he said, beaming on her.
"Oh, Dougal, tell her about the séance," said Elsie, as Fancy put the money in her purse.
"Oh, yes! I wanted to see you about a materializing séance, Fancy. Do you know of a good one? We want to go some night and see the spooks. The bunch is going to have some fun with them."
"You want to look out for yourself, then. They always have two or three bouncers, and they'll throw you out if there's any row, you know."
