Description
She's here! I thought she would be. She's one of the three young ladies you see in the right-hand box near the proscenium."The gentleman thus addressed-a man of middle age and a member of the most exclusive clubs-turned his opera glass toward the spot designated, and in some astonishment retorted:"She?
Why those are the Misses Pratt and-""Miss Violet Strange; no other.""And do you mean to say-""I do-""That yon silly little chit, whose father I know, whose fortune I know, who is seen everywhere, and who is called one of the season's belles is an agent of yours; a-a-""No names here, please.
You want a mystery solved. It is not a matter for the police-that is, as yet,-and so you come to me, and when I ask for the facts, I find that women and only women are involved, and that these women are not only young but one and all of the highest society.
Is it a man's work to go to the bottom of a combination like this?
No. Sex against sex, and, if possible, youth against youth.
Happily, I know such a person-a girl of gifts and extraordinarily well placed for the purpose.
Why she uses her talents in this direction-why, with means enough to play the part natural to her as a successful debutante, she consents to occupy herself with social and other mysteries, you must ask her, not me.
Enough that I promise you her aid if you want it. That is, if you can interest her. She will not work otherwise."
