I
am
very
glad
to
be
able
to
give
you
this
letter
to
Mr.
Bastienelli
,
"
commented
Mr.
Sluss
,
as
he
rang
for
a
stenographer
,
"
not
only
for
the
sake
of
my
old
friend
Mr.
Barry
,
but
for
your
own
as
well
.
Do
you
know
Mr.
Barry
very
well
?
"
he
asked
,
curiously
.
"
Only
slightly
,
"
admitted
Mrs.
Brandon
,
feeling
that
Mr.
Sluss
would
be
glad
to
know
she
was
not
very
intimate
with
those
who
were
recommending
her
.
"
I
was
sent
to
him
by
a
Mr.
Amerman
.
"
(
She
named
an
entirely
fictitious
personage
.
)
Mr.
Sluss
was
relieved
.
As
he
handed
her
the
note
she
once
more
surveyed
him
with
those
grateful
,
persuasive
,
appealing
eyes
.
They
made
him
almost
dizzy
,
and
set
up
a
chemical
perturbation
in
his
blood
which
quite
dispelled
his
good
resolutions
in
regard
to
the
strange
woman
and
his
need
of
being
circumspect
.
"
You
say
you
are
living
on
the
North
Side
?
"
he
inquired
,
smiling
weakly
,
almost
foolishly
.
"
Yes
,
I
have
taken
such
a
nice
little
apartment
over-looking
Lincoln
Park
.
I
did
n't
know
whether
I
was
going
to
be
able
to
keep
it
up
,
but
now
that
I
have
this
position
--
You
've
been
so
very
kind
to
me
,
Mr.
Sluss
,
"
she
concluded
,
with
the
same
I-need-to-be-cared-for
air
.
"
I
hope
you
wo
n't
forget
me
entirely
.
If
I
could
be
of
any
personal
service
to
you
at
any
time
--
"
Mr.
Sluss
was
rather
beside
himself
at
the
thought
that
this
charming
baggage
of
femininity
,
having
come
so
close
for
the
minute
,
was
now
passing
on
and
might
disappear
entirely
.
By
a
great
effort
of
daring
,
as
they
walked
toward
the
door
,
he
managed
to
say
:
"
I
shall
have
to
look
into
that
little
place
of
yours
sometime
and
see
how
you
are
getting
along
.
I
live
up
that
way
myself
.
"
"
Oh
,
do
!
"
she
exclaimed
,
warmly
.
"
It
would
be
so
kind
.
I
am
practically
alone
in
the
world
.
Perhaps
you
play
cards
.
I
know
how
to
make
a
most
wonderful
punch
.
I
should
like
you
to
see
how
cozily
I
am
settled
.
"
At
this
Mr.
Sluss
,
now
completely
in
tow
of
his
principal
weakness
,
capitulated
.
"
I
will
,
"
he
said
,
"
I
surely
will
.
And
that
sooner
than
you
expect
,
perhaps
.
You
must
let
me
know
how
you
are
getting
along
.
"
He
took
her
hand
.
