Almost before the big motor-car stopped, the girl sprang out. Lap-robes flung aside, veils flying, gauntlets flapping, she was the incarnation of youth, gayety, and modernity. Oh, Justin, she cried, as she ran up the steps of the great portico, weve had such a time! Two punctures and a blow-out! I thought wed never get here! There, there, Dorothy, dont be so so precipitous. Let me greet your mother. Dorothy Duncan pouted at the rebuke, but stood aside as Justin Arnold went forward to meet the older lady.
