“Now, who are you?”

“You know my name. It’s Masters.”

“I don’t mean that. What are you?”

Miss Masters replied quickly, “I—why—I’m a girl, and—you say yourself I’m wise.”

“You don’t have to tell me that. Where did you come from? Where did Boland get you?”

“Before I went to work for Boland I was in St. Louis.”

“What did you do there?”

“Oh, I shan’t answer that question—yet.”

“Well, you seem to know a great deal about the kind of business I’m in. Where did you get your information?”

“Picked it up.”
