Mathison returned to Miss Farrington. "Some mistake. They've dismissed it."

"Yes. Here, Miss Farrington; jump into this. Day after to-morrow at four. Good night."

"But you are coming with me!"

"No."

"I say yes!"

"No."

"Then I'll walk to the Subway—four blocks. I shall ruin my dress, my shoes, and my temper. I am going to take you back to the hotel."
