Oh, the Fairchilds want us to come over to dinner,

I hope you will go, auntie. I sha'n't mind being alone.

I suppose he has come up on purpose. But, dear, you must go to chaperon me. It would hardly be civil not to go, when you knew Mr. Henderson in New York, and the Fairchilds want to make it agreeable for him.
