"Pretty good."
The friendliness of Jack's tone heartened the other. "I just called up to tell you we were coming back to-morrow for a day or so. Miriam wants to."
"That so?"
"Yes, she fired her maid to-day, and has to get another."
"Yes?" said Jack with more attention. Something stirred in the back of his brain. "Has she got anybody in view?"
"No, she's going to Miss Staley's Employment Bureau. Seems all the women up here get their maids from her. Why do you ask?"
"Oh, nothing."
"It's all right for us to come?"
"Sure!"
"Well, I didn't want to take you by surprise."
