I am not well enough to go there for some days, and of course I do not like to send Polly alone.

If you could go out with her, give him the letter of introduction, and ask him kindly to call upon us at his leisure, and find out also if there is any danger in a little delay just now while I am ill, it would be a very great favor." "Of course I will, with all the pleasure in life, Mrs.Oliver," replied Edgar, with the unspoken thought, "Confound it! There goes my game; I promised the fellows to be there, and they 'll guy me for staying away! However, there 's nothing else to do.

I should n't have the face to go out now and come in at one or two o'clock in the morning." Polly entered just then with the letter.
"Edgar is kind enough to stay all night with us, dear, and take you to the Presidio on the pension business in the morning.

If you will see that his room is all right, I will say good-night now.

Our guest-chamber is downstairs, Edgar; I hope you will be very comfortable.
