"Miss Dallas!" said Etwald, in no wise moved by this speech. "If I thought that--. But," added Jen, breaking off, "how did you know that David was in London?" So Elinor went into the sitting-room where the telephone was, and in the intervals of their rather forced conversation, they could hear scraps of her kind questions and gentle answers. When she returned to the studio, her face was glowing. "Find out in the morning how she feels about it," said Elinor, switching off the light. "I'm pretty sure she'll want to go.".
