"Yes ?" he said, quickly.
"You don't know my brother, Walter Adams," she said.

"But he's somewhere I think possibly he's in a smoking-room or some place where girls aren't expected, and if you wouldn't think it too much trouble to inquire----" "I'll find him," Russell said, promptly.

"Thank you so much for that dance.

I'll bring your brother in a moment." It was to be a long moment, Alice decided, presently.
