194 ~~ +The Craze of Christina. ‘Will the young lady be coming home, sir?’’ “JT cannot say. Mr. Joseph Chase, the senior partner, writes himself; he seems rather mys- terious about her movements. She is probably in Australia, of course; but he says she is ‘traveling,’ so she is away from home; and he adds that he is not at liberty to divulge her present address. Well, if you will excuse me, Docker, I think I will step over and speak to Mr. Joseph Chase. 1| must write to your master to-day to tell him the news, and it would be as well if I were to see Mr. Chase first. I shall have good news to give him for his client, un- luckily! She has stepped into fifty thousand pounds most unexpectedly !’’ cComichooks.co
