"I shouldn't have minded telling you, but if some one else had heard, your clerical friend for instance, I might have been robbed."
"That is true. I hope I shall never see him again."
"Perhaps you may. I have seen him."
"You have seen him?" ejaculated Florence in surprise. "Where?"
"At the dinner table at my hotel."
"Do you think he is staying there?"
"I only know that I saw him at the table."
"At what hotel are you staying?"
"At the Erie Hotel."
"I hope you will be cautious. He may do you an injury," said Florence with flattering earnestness.
