She
lifted
her
eyes
and
leaned
forward
,
thus
bringing
her
torso
into
a
ravishing
position
.
She
had
the
air
of
one
who
has
done
many
things
besides
work
in
the
Treasury
Department
.
No
least
detail
,
as
she
observed
,
was
lost
on
Mr.
Sluss
.
He
noted
her
shoes
,
which
were
button
patent
leather
with
cloth
tops
;
her
gloves
,
which
were
glace
black
kid
with
white
stitching
at
the
back
and
fastened
by
dark-gamet
buttons
;
the
coral
necklace
worn
on
this
occasion
,
and
her
yellow
and
red
velvet
rose
.
Evidently
a
trig
and
hopeful
widow
,
even
if
so
recently
bereaved
.
"
Let
me
see
,
"
mused
Mr.
Sluss
,
"
where
are
you
living
?
Just
let
me
make
a
note
of
your
address
.
This
is
a
very
nice
letter
from
Mr.
Barry
.
Suppose
you
give
me
a
few
days
to
think
what
I
can
do
?
This
is
Tuesday
.
Come
in
again
on
Friday
.
I
'll
see
if
anything
suggests
itself
.
"
He
strolled
with
her
to
the
official
door
,
and
noted
that
her
step
was
light
and
springy
.
At
parting
she
turned
a
very
melting
gaze
upon
him
,
and
at
once
he
decided
that
if
he
could
he
would
find
her
something
.
She
was
the
most
fascinating
applicant
that
had
yet
appeared
.
The
end
of
Chaffee
Thayer
Sluss
was
not
far
distant
after
this
.
Mrs.
Brandon
returned
,
as
requested
,
her
costume
enlivened
this
time
by
a
red-silk
petticoat
which
contrived
to
show
its
ingratiating
flounces
beneath
the
glistening
black
broadcloth
of
her
skirt
.
"
Say
,
did
you
get
on
to
that
?
"
observed
one
of
the
doormen
,
a
hold-over
from
the
previous
regime
,
to
another
of
the
same
vintage
.
"
Some
style
to
the
new
administration
,
hey
?
We
're
not
so
slow
,
do
you
think
?
"
He
pulled
his
coat
together
and
fumbled
at
his
collar
to
give
himself
an
air
of
smartness
,
and
gazed
gaily
at
his
partner
,
both
of
them
over
sixty
and
dusty
specimens
,
at
that
.
The
other
poked
him
in
the
stomach
.
"
Hold
your
horses
there
,
Bill
.
Not
so
fast
.
We
ai
n't
got
a
real
start
yet
.
Give
us
another
six
months
,
and
then
watch
out
.
"
Mr.
Sluss
was
pleased
to
see
Mrs.
Brandon
.
He
had
spoken
to
John
Bastienelli
,
the
new
commissioner
of
taxes
,
whose
offices
were
directly
over
the
way
on
the
same
hall
,
and
the
latter
,
seeing
that
he
might
want
favors
of
the
mayor
later
on
,
had
volubly
agreed
to
take
care
of
the
lady
.
