"I did nothing of the kind. I will admit that I should know where you are by instinct, as Sir John knew the Prince; but I did not expect you to insist on my doing so. How was I to know you were in the city?"
"The servant told you."
"The servant told me?"
As Keith's brow puckered in the effort to unravel the mystery, she nodded.
"Um-hum--I heard him. I was at the head of the stair."
Keith tapped his head.
"It's old age--sheer senility."
"'No; I don't want to see the other lady,'" she said, mimicking him so exactly that he opened his eyes wide.
"I am staying at Mrs. Wentworth's--Cousin Norman's," she continued, with a little change of expression and the least little lift of her head.
Keith's expression, perhaps, changed slightly, too, for she added quietly: "Cousin Louise had to have some one with her, and I am teaching the children. I am the governess."
