"Well, well! What wickedness there is in the world!" ejaculated Mrs. Finn. "What will you do?"
"I don't know. I shall have to consider."
"Did the grandfather send you out here?"
"Yes."
"Excuse my remarking that you are very young to undertake such a responsible task."
"I think so myself, Mrs. Finn," Mark answered, modestly. "But it so happened that he hadn't much choice. I shall do my best, and if I can't find him, I shall go home and report, and advise Mr. Taylor to send an older and more competent person."
"You won't be offended by what I said?"
"Certainly not. Any one would think as you do. Is there any other information you can give me, Mrs. Finn?"
Mrs. Finn shook her head.
"I am afraid not," she said.
