"You are James Edgerton?—of Edgerton, Tennant & Co.?"

"I was James Edgerton, of Edgerton, Tennant & Co.; I am now only a silent partner in Fate, Destiny & Co.... If you don't mind—if you please—who are you?"
"Why, I'm Diana Tennant!"
"Who?"
"Diana Tennant! Haven't you ever heard of my sister and me?"
"You mean you're those two San Francisco nieces?" he asked, astonished.
"I'm one of them. Silvette is sitting on the roof."
