Immediately after breakfast she began to sound Mrs. Gray about the Count.
"When did he apply for board?" she asked.
"Yesterday afternoon about four o'clock."
"Had he heard of you? What led him here?"
"I think he saw the sign I had out."
"I should have supposed he would prefer a hotel."
"He's staying at a hotel now."
"Did he say at what hotel? Was it the Fifth Avenue?"
"He did not say. He will move here early this afternoon."
