“Launa’s address?” repeated Carden.
“Address,” echoed his mother. “Please sit down.”
“Her address,” replied Harvey.
“Launa was in the country,” said Mrs. Carden. “She lives at Victoria Mansions, but I am sorry to say she is a very odd girl. She loves the world.”
“It is beautiful,” said the Canadian. “Then she has not changed.”
“Beautiful, is it?” observed Mrs. Carden.
“If you will kindly give me her exact address, I will not trouble you any further.”
Mrs. Carden went to her writing-table and wrote it. As she handed it to him she said:
“Are you her relation or her guardian? I believe my cousin married a Canadian.”
“I am not her guardian.”
