CHAPTER XX - AN INVITATION TO DINE.
As the workman passed through the little outer office Edith Hudson glanced up
at him.
"
Where," she thought after he had gone, "have I seen that fellow before?"
Jimmy was in the shop applying "How to Get More Out of Your Factory" to the
problems of the International Machine Company when he was called to the
telephone.
"
"
"
Is this Mr. Torrance?" asked a feminine voice.
It is," replied Jimmy.
I am Miss Compton. My father will probably not be able to get to the office for
several days, and as he wishes very much to talk with you he has asked me to
suggest that you take dinner with us this evening." "Thank you," said Jimmy.
"
Tell Mr. Compton that I will come to the house right after the shop closes to-
night."
"I suppose," said Elizabeth Compton as she turned away from the phone, "that an
efficiency expert is a very superior party and that his conversation will be far
above my head."
Compton laughed. "Torrance seems to be a very likable chap," he said, "and as
far as his work is concerned he is doing splendidly."
