"Let me take you home?"
"No, thanks. Good-night."
He took her hand.
"I warn you that I shall find you, Miss Jane Judd. I never lose people who interest me."
She pressed his hand, smiled, and left him. A few minutes later, as he was making his way to the door, previous to his own escape, Jerry came to him.
"Mr. Christiansen, I'm Jerry Paxton. Mrs. Brendon said that you had Miss Judd with you. I'm looking for her."
"She escaped. I tried hard enough to keep her, but she went home."
"Went home?"
"So she said. Who is she?"
"Why, she's a girl who does things around the studios, I don't know her very well. She was good, wasn't she?"
