"Hurry along, there's a good girl.

I'll drink my chocolate while you are gone, and get ready for bed, but I must see Macdougal before I undress." Something of her mistress's agitation seemed to have become communicated to Lenora.

Her voice shook a little as she stepped into the elevator.
"Where are you off to, young lady ?" the boy enquired.
"I want to go round to our quarters," Lenora explained.

"Her ladyship wants to speak to Mr.Macdougal." "He's gone out, sure," the elevator boy remarked.

"Shall I wait for you, Miss Lenora ?" he asked, as they descended into the hall.
"Do," she begged.
