Minna
,
glad
to
find
a
sympathiser
,
even
in
this
chance
acquaintance
,
admitted
that
she
was
in
distress
;
that
she
had
become
separated
from
her
mother
,
and
that
she
was
indeed
from
the
country
.
“
I
’
ve
been
trying
to
find
a
situation
,
”
she
hazarded
in
conclusion
,
“
but
I
don
’
t
seem
to
succeed
.
I
’
ve
never
been
in
a
city
before
,
except
Bonneville
.
”
“
Well
,
it
IS
a
coincidence
,
”
said
the
other
.
“
I
know
I
wasn
’
t
drawn
to
you
for
nothing
.
I
am
looking
for
just
such
a
young
girl
as
you
.
You
see
,
I
live
alone
a
good
deal
and
I
’
ve
been
wanting
to
find
a
nice
,
bright
,
sociable
girl
who
will
be
a
sort
of
COMPANION
to
me
.
Understand
?
And
there
’
s
something
about
you
that
I
like
.
I
took
to
you
the
moment
I
saw
you
on
the
boat
.
Now
shall
we
talk
this
over
?
”
Towards
the
end
of
the
week
,
one
afternoon
,
as
Presley
was
returning
from
his
club
,
he
came
suddenly
face
to
face
with
Minna
upon
a
street
corner
.
“
Ah
,
”
he
cried
,
coming
toward
her
joyfully
.
“
Upon
my
word
,
I
had
almost
given
you
up
.
I
’
ve
been
looking
everywhere
for
you
.
I
was
afraid
you
might
not
be
getting
along
,
and
I
wanted
to
see
if
there
was
anything
I
could
do
.
How
are
your
mother
and
Hilda
?
Where
are
you
stopping
?
Have
you
got
a
good
place
?
”
“
I
don
’
t
know
where
mamma
is
,
”
answered
Minna
.
“
We
got
separated
,
and
I
never
have
been
able
to
find
her
again
.
”
Meanwhile
,
Presley
had
been
taking
in
with
a
quick
eye
the
details
of
Minna
’
s
silk
dress
,
with
its
garniture
of
lace
,
its
edging
of
velvet
,
its
silver
belt
-
buckle
.
Her
hair
was
arranged
in
a
new
way
and
on
her
head
was
a
wide
hat
with
a
flare
to
one
side
,
set
off
with
a
gilt
buckle
and
a
puff
of
bright
blue
plush
.
He
glanced
at
her
sharply
.
“
Well
,
but
—
but
how
are
you
getting
on
?
”
he
demanded
.
Minna
laughed
scornfully
.
