"Molly," he said in the most nonchalant manner imaginable, "we've got a jolly, strolling, German band up at the hotel; and we're going to have an evening's gaiety. Get into a pretty dress, and don't keep me waiting." "Be more explicit, man," he said sternly. "What do you mean by Mrs. Dallas' place? The house or the grounds?"
