Are you the gentlemen?” “Yes; I sent the message to you. Can I come up to your office?” “Please do, or I’ll come down if you like it better.” Richardson was half-way up the stairs before she had finished speaking, and the girl retreated into the bare little office. She was busy with a duster. “Excuse me, sir. I’m afraid that everything’s covered with dust, but you see it’s only me that uses the room, and I don’t come every day. Now I think that this chair is all right if you’ll sit down.” She was still unembarrassed and smiling. She turned to dust a second chair for Williams.
