"Good evening," she said. "Won't you come in?"
"Why, yes," then very apologetically; "that is, if I'm not putting you out."
"No, indeed." He sat and paused. She smiled and did not help him.
"You're nicely located here, Miss Connor."
"Oh, yes, we like it."
"Near the express station?"
"Yes. I usually get a seat in the morning, but not coming back, of course."
"About three blocks, isn't it?"
"Three long ones."
"A nice walk."
