Even here they were caught, however, by a reporter, whom Mr.Weiss brushed unceremoniously away.
Virginia took her companion into a morning-room upon the ground floor, and motioned him to a chair.
"If you will wait here," she said, "I'll go upstairs and see my uncle.
If I see that it is in any way possible, I will do as you ask." "That's good," he declared.

"If you don't mind, Miss Longworth, I'll just step into the study, where we were last night.

I dare say one of your uncle's young men will be there, and there are a few minor details I'd like to talk over with young Smedley, if he's about." "I will find Mr.Smedley for you," Virginia said, "when I come down.

I am sure that he is not in the library, because my uncle uses that always as his private room.

Please wait here until I come down." She left him and made her way upstairs.
