"Magnificent building, Westminster Abbey," Mr. Garratt put in. "What did you think of it, Miss Vincent?"

"I don't think I could say just yet," Margaret answered; "it was only yesterday that I saw it."

"Quite right; it doesn't do to make up one's mind too soon," Mr. Garratt remarked, cheerily, at which Hannah looked up a little sharply.

"For my part," she said, "I like people to know at once what they think, and what they mean."

"Well, you see," he answered, looking back at her, "it isn't difficult sometimes." Whereupon the color came to her face and amiability to her expression. "What else did you see in London, Miss Vincent?" he turned to Margaret again.

Something prompted Mr. Vincent to answer for her, and with extreme gravity: "We went to the theatre."

"I'm sorry to hear it," Hannah said.

"And how did you like it?" Mr. Garratt asked Margaret, as if he had not heard Hannah's remark.

"It was wonderful," she answered. "I long to go again."
