“Doesn’t she live in West Forty-eighth Street?”
“Yes.”
“Then it is the same one, as you will see by this card.”

“How on earth did you get acquainted with her?” exclaimed Mrs. Briggs. “Who introduced you?”
“I believe I introduced myself,” said Gilbert, smiling. “I’ll tell you all about it,” and he recounted the circumstances of his acquaintance.
“She invited you to call?” exclaimed Randolph, enviously.
“Yes.”
“Do you mean to go?”
“I shall go once, out of politeness.”
