"Good evening," he said with a ceremonious bow.
"Good evening," responded Albert.
Rupert bowed slightly, smiling as he did so.
"Ha! are you two acquainted?"
"Yes," answered Julian superciliously. "I knew Mr. Rollins when he was a bell-boy at the Somerset Hotel."
"And I knew Mr. Lorimer years before that, when his father and my father were partners in Buffalo."
Albert Fraser looked from one to the other and smiled at Julian's angry confusion.
"Rupert," he said, "let me take you up to my sister and introduce you. The grand march will soon begin."
"Thank you, Albert."
