To her relief, the face which was shown there was one strange to her, a slim youth, reading a letter of his own, and smiling. Excuse me, said Lulu faintly. The youth looked up, with eyes warmed by the words on the pink paper which he held. Could you give me the address of Mr. Ninian Deacon? Let's see-you mean Dwight Deacon, I guess?
