All three of them wore an air of anxious ex- pectancy, and as I sank gratefully into a chair Dunning said: “It has occurred to me that, if we don’t succeed in averting the trouble, Ottilie and Mr. Wills would be mighty glad of some quiet place to retire to, until the fuss blows over; or even—” he hesitated— “in. a certain eventuality Ottilie might come alone; and Miss Ada has kindly said she'll be prepared for them at any hour of the day and ay ‘ is words were like old w ter my spirits.
