Excerpt from His Daughter
Mrs. Grandison cast an eye upon the mountain of hand-luggage without which she and her daughter were unable to travel, and abandoned the conventions.
"Dorothy," she said, "I"m going to get hold of that young American and fasten to him like a leech. He"s got a broad back and only one valise. Don"t move from this spot."
She departed, bustling with energy and determination, and in five minutes returned with her victim.
But Frederick Dayton did not feel like a victim. He felt as if he had known Mrs. Grandison all his life and had always liked her. She was a direct, unaffected person, from whom emanated an effect of well-being and common sense.
"Dorothy," she said, "this is Mr. Dayton. I"ve explained to him why we had to discharge Ben Ali, and he"s volunteered to help us get these things on the train."
