Miss Polly? Are the ladies in?
gpt
No'm--no-sir, I mean, returned the maid, confused at his certainty of finding them at home.

They went out an hour ago, after tryin' to get you on the 'phone. They says they won't be back till after midnight, sir.

Did they say where they were going?

No'm--No-sir! But I hear'n Miss Polly talk to someone on the 'phone and she says: 'Oh how lovely! We'll all go with you. And we'll meet you there for dinner,' repeated the maid.

You see, I was openin' th' door to take more presents for the young ladies, so I hear'n that much of the talk from the table 'phone in the back hall.
