Chapter XVII
"Lady Dene wishes to see you, Miss." "Sure the Archbishop of Canterbury isn't with her, Johnnie dear?" asked Gladys Norman sweetly, without looking up from the cleaning of her typewriter. In her own mind she was satisfied that this was a little joke inspired by Thompson. "No, Miss, she's alone," replied the literal William Johnson. "Show her Ladyship in," she said, still playing for safety.
