He would like a room in our wing.
Will you let the maids know, dear ?" She nodded thoughtfully.
"Of course! There are several rooms quite ready.

Mrs.Midgeley thought that we might be bringing down some guests.

I am quite sure that we can make Doctor Harrison comfortable." "No doubt about that, Lady Dominey," the doctor declared.

"Let me be as near to your apartment as possible." There was a shade of anxiety in her face.
"You think that to-night something will happen ?" she asked.
"To-night, or one night very soon," Dominey assented.
