"Let me see, I think we met her----" "The day she came to college," supplemented Grace.
"How did you know that ?" was the sharp question.
"I saw you and Miss Hampton when you approached her, and also when you walked away from the station with her," Grace said quietly.

"Miss Briggs rode part of the way on the train with us to Overton." A deep flush rose to the faces of both young women at Grace's indisputable statement.
