you know a Miss Lynde?"
"Prudence Lynde? Yes, I know her a little. She studied with me one winter a few years ago. A beautiful girl with some talent. What about her?"

"Where did you meet her?" he asked.
"Here."
"Prudence Lynde here? Ah, I see; at the Inn. And so you've met her and fallen in love, Miles. Well, well!"
