“I mean to call there very soon.”
“I wouldn’t. You wouldn’t be welcome.”
“How do you know that?”
“It stands to reason,” argued Randolph. “They stand very high in the social scale, and a newsboy is very low.”
“I don’t think the Vivians and you quite agree in some matters. If I find I am not welcome, you may be sure I won’t repeat the call.”
“You will see I am right.”
“I suppose, from what you say, that I shall not be welcome at your house?” said Gilbert, rather amused.
“Why, you might call when no one is there. Of course, we couldn’t introduce you to our friends.”
“I think the safest way will be not to call at all.”
“That’s so,” said Randolph, and he walked on.
