Herbert took up the paper and looked at Singleton with a smile as he flung it into the fire.
"Now I think we'll go down," he said. "Mrs. Lansing will be waiting for us."
Singleton spent the remainder of the evening with great content, talking to Sylvia. When she left him, Herbert met her in the hall.
"Thanks," he smiled meaningly. "Did you find the man interesting?"
"To some extent," returned Sylvia; "he's a type that's new to me. Still, of course, he's a little raw, and inclined to be serious. I think one could see too much of him."
"He's coming down again in a week."
"Oh!" said Sylvia, with signs of protest. "And after that?"
Herbert laughed.
"I don't think he'll make a third visit."
