Do something devilish?" inquired Harriet. "What, for instance?"
Oh, 'most anything that we shouldn't do," replied Elizabeth, "and there isn't
anything that we could do down here alone that we should do."
They both laughed. "I have it!" exclaimed Elizabeth suddenly. "We'll be utterly
abandoned--we'll have supper at Feinheimer's without an escort."
Harriet cast a horrified glance at her companion. "Why, Elizabeth Compton," she
cried, "you wouldn't dare. You know you wouldn't dare!"
"
Do you dare me?" asked the other.
"
But suppose some one should see us?" argued Harriet. "Your father would never
forgive us."

"
If we see any one in Feinheimer's who knows us," argued Elizabeth shrewdly,
they will be just as glad to forget it as we. And anyway it will do it no harm. I
shall have David stay right outside the door so that if I call him he can come. I
don't know what I would do without David. He is a sort of Rock of Ages and
Gibraltar all in one."
Through the speaking-tube Elizabeth directed David to drive to Feinheimer's,
and, whatever David may have thought of the order, he gave no outward
indication of it.
