“Thank you.”
“My recommendation will be that you be dismissed from service with the Army of Occupation and returned to your organization in Paris. That is all, Mrs. Gray. In the meantime you will proceed with your work as before. A car will be turned over to you to-morrow morning. That’s all!”
CHAPTER IV
A TIMELY MEETING
“GRACE HARLOWE, I am proud of you,” glowed Elfreda as they left the headquarters of Captain Rowland.
“You may not be if Mrs. Smythe has her way. She plainly has more or less influence in high places. You saw how thoroughly against me the captain was, didn’t you?”
“Yes, but he agreed with the soundness of your argument.”
“He had to. He knew I was right. What pleases me most of all is that I shall have the pleasure of driving Madame to-morrow. Beyond that I cannot say.”
“My legal training tells me that we should make some overtures in high places ourselves. You surely will not stand by and let the supervisor have her way?”
“Why not?”
