Good References When the car reached a clear block, Pete turned his head for a hurried glimpse at the partly-huddled figure at his right. "Air doing you any good?" he asked. "I—I think so." Miss Norcross spoke uncertainly. She was not quite clear concerning even such a matter as air. Pete skillfully lighted a cigarette without checking the car's pace. He smoked in silence for several blocks. "How did you like our little party?" he inquired. No answer. "He didn't mean any harm; that was only his way of being democratic." There was no comment from Miss Norcross. "Of course," mused Pete, "when you take the warm and impulsive Neapolitan nature and stack it up against the New England conscience you produce a contact of opposites. Looking at the matter impartially——" "Please stop talking to me." "Why?" "For excellent reasons." "Because I am a valet?" "Because you choose to forget your position," said Nell, sharply. Pete sighed mournfully. "Everywhere it's the same," he said. "They all draw[Pg 134] the line. It'll haunt me even when I'm a bishop. Did you know I was going to be a bishop? I am. But, of course, being once a valet will have its advantages as well as its drawbacks. I'll be able to clean and press my own robes. I'll be a neat bishop if I'm nothing else. If there's one thing I dislike it's a dowdy bishop. You just run over all your bishop friends and you'll appreciate what I mean." "Stop talking!" "I don't believe you mean that, Miss Wayne. I believe that you have a secret liking for my conversation. Most people have. You see, it's like this: when I was a young boy——" Nell sat up abruptly and looked about her. "Where are you taking me to?" she demanded. "I thought I'd drop you at the Ritz. That's where you live, isn't it? You have the Ritz manner." "We've got to go back," she said furiously. "I don't live up this way at all. I live down-town." "Well, you didn't tell me," said Pete, mildly. "You just let me go right on driving. I never dreamed of taking you anywhere except to the Ritz." She told him the address and huddled back into her seat. Pete merely elevated an eyebrow as he turned the car. "To return to our discussion of the party," he said, "it is unfortunate that you fainted before Signor Valentino took his departure. There were features connected with his exit that were unique. But I am greatly afraid that my master, Mr. Marshall, will have difficulty in making explanations. To bring your dearest friend to your house and then——" "If you don't stop talking I'll shriek." "We shall see. To make it interesting, I'll bet you five dollars that you don't." And he continued to talk, smoothly, placidly and without cessation. She did not shriek. She did not even whimper. She sat in outraged silence, her hands clenched, her brain swimming with the futility of trying to puzzle out this mystery of Bill Marshall's valet.
