"I have seen her brother," said the young lady, "and I have a very good opinion of him."
"Thank you very much. Grace will be delighted."
"Do you live in Chicago?"
"Yes, miss."
"Some time bring your little sister to call on me. I live with my aunt, Mrs. Sheldon, in Ashland avenue."
She handed Paul her card. Glancing at it, he ascertained that the name of his liberal friend was Grace Dearborn.
"Grace shall certainly come, if only to thank you for her present," said Paul.
After the boy passed on, Mrs. Sheldon, who sat in the seat just behind, said:
"Upon my word, Grace, you are extremely liberal to a perfect stranger."
