"She is very well. She was delighted with your present."
"I am glad of that. Can you spare five minutes, or are you in a hurry?"
"Oh, no, I have plenty of time."
"Then come into this store with me."
Paul followed Grace, wondering a little why she made the request. When he came out he carried in his hand a very pretty child's cloak which Miss Dearborn had purchased.
"Give it to your little sister, with my love," she said.
"How generous you are, Miss Dearborn! Grace won't be able to sleep tonight for joy."
"Be sure you remember your promise to bring her around to see me."
"Thank you. Will the evening do? I am on the train during the day."
"Come next Thursday evening—I will expect you."
