Newton returned to Mrs. Carter's as soon as luncheon was over. He swung along at a rapid pace in high spirits.

Newton went on Mrs. Carter's invitation. As he entered the big room he passed close to Mrs. Trevellian and Danforth, who were talking together in a corner.

"Well, I wish you every success, my dear boy," Mrs. Trevellian was saying, "for many reasons, and anything I can do to help, you know I'll do it."

"Well, I don't intend to give up, you can rest assured of that," said Danforth, closing his jaws.
