"Leslie!" he said, "I'm sending Mickey back to you with a note, not
because I had anything to say I couldn't say now, but because I can't
manage him. I pretended I didn't care, and let him go. Can't you help me?
See if you can't interest him in something that at least will bring him
back, or show us where to find him. Certainly! Thank you very much!"
When Mickey delivered the letter the lovely young woman just happened to
be in the hall. She told him to come in until she read it, to learn what
Mr. Bruce wanted. Mickey followed into a big room, looked around, then a
speculative, appreciative gleam crossed his face. He realized the
difference between a home and a show room. He did not know what he was
seeing or why it affected him as it did. Really the thought that was in
his mind was that this woman was far more attractive, but had less money
to spend on her home, than many others. He missed the glitter, but enjoyed
the comfort, for he leaned back against the chair offered him, thinking
what a cool, restful place it was.
