"This is Miss Gillis, Mrs. Guffy," explained Brant. "She wishes to see
Mr. Hampton if it is possible."
"Sure an' she can thet. He's been askin' after her, an' thet pretty
face would kape any man in gud spirits, I 'm thinkin'. Step roight in,
miss."
She held the door ajar, but Naida paused, glancing back at her
motionless companion, a glint of unshed tears showing for the first
time in her eyes. "Are you not coming also?"
"No, Miss Naida. It is best for me to remain without, but my heart
goes with you."
Then the door closed between them.
