She was turning the leaves interestedly when a sudden banging of the station door caused her to glance up.

Her eyes were riveted in surprise upon Evelyn Ward, who, suit case in hand, hurried over to her with, "Oh, Miss Harlowe, I wonder if you would mind my going to New York with you.

I am invited to Althea Parker's for the week end, but she had to go down last night.

I tried to see you at Harlowe House, but you had already gone.

I would have spoken to you last night about going, but I wasn't quite sure whether I could make it or not." Evelyn's tones were far from concerned.
"You are quite welcome to ride with me," returned Grace briefly.
