“
I
never
had
the
chance
.
Mrs
.
Murrett
discouraged
any
competition
on
the
part
of
her
subordinates
.
”
“
Especially
such
pretty
ones
,
I
suppose
?
”
Darrow
made
no
comment
,
and
she
continued
:
“
And
Mrs
.
Murrett
’
s
own
opinion
—
if
she
’
d
offered
you
one
—
probably
wouldn
’
t
have
been
of
much
value
?
”
“
Only
in
so
far
as
her
disapproval
would
,
on
general
principles
,
have
been
a
good
mark
for
Miss
Viner
.
But
surely
,
”
he
went
on
after
a
pause
,
“
you
could
have
found
out
about
her
from
the
people
through
whom
you
first
heard
of
her
?
”
Anna
smiled
.
“
Oh
,
we
heard
of
her
through
Adelaide
Painter
—
;
”
and
in
reply
to
his
glance
of
interrogation
she
explained
that
the
lady
in
question
was
a
spinster
of
South
Braintree
,
Massachusetts
,
who
,
having
come
to
Paris
some
thirty
years
earlier
,
to
nurse
a
brother
through
an
illness
,
had
ever
since
protestingly
and
provisionally
camped
there
in
a
state
of
contemptuous
protestation
oddly
manifested
by
her
never
taking
the
slip
-
covers
off
her
drawing
-
room
chairs
.
Her
long
residence
on
Gallic
soil
had
not
mitigated
her
hostility
toward
the
creed
and
customs
of
the
race
,
but
though
she
always
referred
to
the
Catholic
Church
as
the
Scarlet
Woman
and
took
the
darkest
views
of
French
private
life
,
Madame
de
Chantelle
placed
great
reliance
on
her
judgment
and
experience
,
and
in
every
domestic
crisis
the
irreducible
Adelaide
was
immediately
summoned
to
Givre
.
“
It
’
s
all
the
odder
because
my
mother
-
in
-
law
,
since
her
second
marriage
,
has
lived
so
much
in
the
country
that
she
’
s
practically
lost
sight
of
all
her
other
American
friends
.
Besides
which
,
you
can
see
how
completely
she
has
identified
herself
with
Monsieur
de
Chantelle
’
s
nationality
and
adopted
French
habits
and
prejudices
.
Yet
when
anything
goes
wrong
she
always
sends
for
Adelaide
Painter
,
who
’
s
more
American
than
the
Stars
and
Stripes
,
and
might
have
left
South
Braintree
yesterday
,
if
she
hadn
’
t
,
rather
,
brought
it
over
with
her
in
her
trunk
.
”
Darrow
laughed
.
“
Well
,
then
,
if
South
Braintree
vouches
for
Miss
Viner
—
—
”
“
Oh
,
but
only
indirectly
.
When
we
had
that
odious
adventure
with
Mademoiselle
Grumeau
,
who
’
d
been
so
highly
recommended
by
Monsieur
de
Chantelle
’
s
aunt
,
the
Chanoinesse
,
Adelaide
was
of
course
sent
for
,
and
she
said
at
once
:
‘
I
’
m
not
the
least
bit
surprised
.
I
’
ve
always
told
you
that
what
you
wanted
for
Effie
was
a
sweet
American
girl
,
and
not
one
of
these
nasty
foreigners
.
’
Unluckily
she
couldn
’
t
,
at
the
moment
,
put
her
hand
on
a
sweet
American
;
but
she
presently
heard
of
Miss
Viner
through
the
Farlows
,
an
excellent
couple
who
live
in
the
Quartier
Latin
and
write
about
French
life
for
the
American
papers
.
I
was
only
too
thankful
to
find
anyone
who
was
vouched
for
by
decent
people
;
and
so
far
I
’
ve
had
no
cause
to
regret
my
choice
.
But
I
know
,
after
all
,
very
little
about
Miss
Viner
;
and
there
are
all
kinds
of
reasons
why
I
want
,
as
soon
as
possible
,
to
find
out
more
—
to
find
out
all
I
can
.
”
“
Since
you
’
ve
got
to
leave
Effie
I
understand
your
feeling
in
that
way
.
But
is
there
,
in
such
a
case
,
any
recommendation
worth
half
as
much
as
your
own
direct
experience
?
”
“
No
;
and
it
’
s
been
so
favourable
that
I
was
ready
to
accept
it
as
conclusive
.
Only
,
naturally
,
when
I
found
you
’
d
known
her
in
London
I
was
in
hopes
you
’
d
give
me
some
more
specific
reasons
for
liking
her
as
much
as
I
do
.
