Description
EVELYN PRESTON ran lightly up the steps of her home and inserting her latch-key in the vestibule door, pushed it open just as the taxi-driver, following more slowly with many an upward glance at the blind-closed windows, reached her side.
"Put the suit case down," she directed. "I'll have the front door opened by the time you get the trunk here."
The cool if somewhat stale air of the closed house which met Evelyn as she stepped across the threshold of the open door was refreshing after the glare of the asphalt pavements, for Washington was experiencing one of the hot waves which come in late September and make that month one to be avoided in the Capital City.
Evelyn, intent on calling a servant, paused midway[2] in the large hall as the taxi-driver's bulky figure blocked the light in the front doorway. Without waiting for directions he lowered her motor trunk from his shoulders and stood it against the wall.
"Shall I leave it here, Miss?" he inquired.
