“I will see the lady for you.”
“How kind of you!”
“Shall I say that you wish to engage her?”
“Oh, by all means!”
“What will you do with your American girl?” asked the lady.
“Give her notice to quit immediately. She shall not pass another night under this roof: my mind is made up to that. The way she has acted this day decides me.”
“At what time shall I tell this English lady to call?”
“I will see her at four this afternoon.”
“Very well.”
“In the mean time I will close up matters with Miss Harper.”
