"I did not think you would find me," she said.
"I was sure to do it. I have been looking for you everywhere. Can't you spare a seat for me?"

"Well?" said Mrs. Tilton, who was rather short-sighted.
"There is your precious music-teacher monopolizing Clinton Randall. Didn't I tell you?"
"I am really shocked at her brazen ways. You were right, Arethusa."
"For goodness' sake, separate them before the whole room notices them."
