"Don't ask me, major. I would tell you if I could, but it is impossible." "I am disgusted with her, too," said Mrs. Dallas, indorsing the major's exclamation. "It must be jolly to know him out of the limelight," said the girl, seriously. "The girls were so crazy over him here that there wasn't a chance for a rational word with him, unless one were a man. He simply evaporated when he saw an apron."
