"Maud speaks French and Italian like a
native. She was educated in Paris and Rome, you know. Fact is, she's
lived abroad a great deal."
"Is she at home now, Mr. Blithers?"
"Depends on what you'd call home, Mrs. King. We've got so many I
don't know just which is the real one. If you mean Blitherwood, yes,
she's there. Course, there's our town house in Madison Avenue, the
place at Newport, one at Nice and one at Pasadena--California, you
know--and a little shack in London. By the way, my wife says you live
quite near our place in New York."
"We live in Madison Avenue, but it's a rather long street, Mr.
Blithers. Just where is your house?" she inquired, rather spitefully.
He looked astonished. "You surely must know where the Blithers house
is at--"
"Game!" shrieked Fannie Felton, tossing her racket in the air, a
victor.
"They're through," said Mr. Blithers in a tone of relief. He shifted
his legs and put his hands on his knees, suggesting a readiness to
arise on an instant's notice.
"Shall we try another set?" called out the Prince.
