"She made the hit of the season," I replied. "Somehow the story leaked out and got into the papers. It was the biggest advertising boom Telford has ever had. The public flocked to see the girl who had scored off Roger Telford."

"So's every woman, miss. They can't 'elp it."
"Mr. Bindle!" Sallie reproved.
