"Of course, any one recommended by Miss Wilmot can hardly fail to be competent. May I ask, Miss Beaufort, where you live?"
"At the Wilmot Flats, in West Twenty-fifth street."
"Then you are a tenant of Miss Wilmot?"

"Of course you have a piano at home?"
"Yes, madam," answered Rose, glad to answer the question in the affirmative.
"I asked because it might at times be more convenient—when we were preparing for company, for instance—to send your pupils to you."
