"Well, I feel as if I had lived a century or two now. When did you come?"
"From Germany, last week; from Montreal at noon."
"You have been a week in Montreal then?"
"With Uncle Roosevelt—yes."
"How good it seems to see you again, Frank. How long will you stay here—in St. Croix?"
"That depends—until I get tired, I suppose. So Captain Danton and his eldest daughter are here from England?"
"How did you learn that?"
"Saw their arrival in Montreal duly chronicled."
"What is she like, Grace?"
"Who?"
