"And we will bring Miss Bright, too, unless she and Mabel have some other engagement." There was purpose in Grace's last remark.

She wished to see if the name "Mabel" made any impression upon her listener, and therefore kept her eyes fixed upon Mrs.Allison.
As Grace carelessly mentioned the name she saw an expression of pain flit across Mrs.Allison's fine face.
"I shall be glad to see Miss Bright," she said quietly.

"Is the 'Mabel' you speak of her sister ?" "No," replied Grace hastily, "she is a girl friend.

May we bring her with us ?" "Do so by all means," rejoined Mrs.Allison.

"She bears the name I love best in all the world." An expression of deep sadness crept into her face as she uttered these words, and she looked past her callers with unseeing eyes.
