'White?' she said. 'It can't be the Whites down by Cliffside. No;
there's a father there, though he generally only comes down for Sunday.' 'I am sure there are some Whites on the Library list,' said Miss Ada. 'Oh yes; but she washes! I know who they must be. I know in Bellevue there are some; but they go to the Kennel Church. Didn't you come home, Ada, from that function you went to with Florence, raving about the handsome youth in the choir?' 'Oh yes, we thought it such an uncommon, foreign face, and he looked quite inspired when he was singing his solo.' 'Yes; I found out that his name was White, a clerk or something in the marble works, and that he had a mother and sister living at Bellevue. I did see the sister when I went to get the marble girls into the G.F.S., but she said something foolish about her mother not liking it.' 'Yes; nobody under the St. Kenelm influence ever will come into the G.F.S.' 'But what is she doing?' asked Gillian. 'Do you mean Kalliope?' 'I suppose I do. I saw a rather nice-looking young woman in the department where they make Florentine mosaic, and I believe they said she was Miss White, but she cut me off very short with her mother, so I had no more to do with her.' |
