The Madam had been thinking hard. "Fancy ought to be pretty sore on Frank," she offered.
"I don't blame her. He's treated her bad."
"And there's no doubt about her being stuck on Cayley?"
"It certainly looks like it; she's with him all the time."
"Well, then, what's the matter with getting Cayley to work her so she can help us out with Payson? I believe we could use her good. She's a saucy chit, and she makes me tired with her fly-up-the-creek impudence; but all the same, she's clever, and if Cayley could only induce her to go into it, I can see lots of ways she could help."
Vixley thought over the matter for a few minutes in silence. "All right, Gertie, I'll speak to him about it. I guess he'll do it; he'll be afraid not to. We got him pretty well tied up, now."
"You can promise him that Felicia will recommend that he marries the girl. That'll be an inducement."
"I'm afraid the Payson girl has got something to say about that herself, from all I hear."
"Well, at any rate, we've queered Frank Granthope, and that's what Cayley wanted most."
"I guess so; at least, that's what I make out from what he says. He's pretty close-mouthed."
