Swallowed Up

Mrs. Wilson Woodrow

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from Swallowed Up
Hope ranger walked down the hall to her mother's sitting-room.
The moment she had passed inside and closed the door behind her, a man servant stepped out of the automatic lift a little further along the corridor and followed her noiselessly. He had some letters on a tray, but it apparently was not his intention to deliver them at once. Instead, he paused close to the sitting-room door, his head inclined, listening.
As Hope entered, her mother looked up with a smile from some notes she was writing.
"Going out, darling?" she asked.
"No, dear heart; I'm going to spend a long, lazy afternoon, shoveling coal in the cellar." Hope laughed at the superfluous question. She so manifestly was going out. Not for house wear were the tailored suit, the smart small hat on her dark hair, the expensive bag that swung from her wrist.
"I'm to meet Lucia at the Plaza," she explained, dropping her bantering tone.
