“Yes; and there, is the number you are looking for.”
“Oh, thank you! I'm so glad to find the place. I was beginning to feel scared.”
“I will ring the bell for you,” said Pinky, going to the door of No. 631. A servant answered the summons.
“Is Mrs. Bray at home?” inquired Pinky.
“I don't know,” replied the servant, looking annoyed. “Her rooms are in the third story;” and she held the door wide open for them to enter. As they passed into the hall Pinky said to her companion,
“Just wait here a moment, and I will run up stairs and see if she is in.”
The girl stood in the hall until Pinky came back.
“Not at home, I'm sorry to say.”
“Oh dear! that's bad; what shall I do?” and the girl looked distressed.
“She'll be back soon, no doubt,” said Pinky, in a light, assuring voice. “I'll go around with you a little and see things.”
