剧情简介: Margaret had been back in town with her aunt only a few days when Madge Travers came to inquire after her. She was delighted to find Mrs. Knickerbocker's niece so well. "Grean, the famous costumer, is coming any minute," Margaret told her with shining eyes. "Auntie is having him design me a wonderful frock. Won't you stay?" So they spent a most interesting afternoon, watching Grean drape beautiful Oriental fabrics on Margaret as model, creating a costume which suited her to a marvel. That afternoon, Our Mutual Girl went to the office of "Town and Country" to sit for Jean Parke, society's favorite portrait artist. On her return she was astonished to find Kid Joseph in the reception room. He was dressed in his best, and he carried a haystack of flowers. "I've got a job as bank messenger on the street," he explained. "The boss of me district, he's gone on me bond. I wants to see Ada. Her an' me." He stopped, and twirled the bouquet between his knees. Margaret fixed on him her truthful gaze. "You wish to propose to Ada?" she said, "Do you think you're good enough? But, of course, that's for her to decide." She went out of the room and soon returned with her protégé. It was rather awkward for the two young East Siders. But Margaret saw at once that Ada cared for Joseph, and was only withholding her consent because she did not feel certain of Margaret's approval. And Margaret herself felt that it would be safer first to try out the reformed gangster. Here Dunbar, who seized every possible opportunity to ingratiate himself further with Margaret, saw another chance to win her favor. He had Kid Joseph come to his rooms, on some perfectly plausible pretext. First he offered him a drink, which the boy refused. Then he tried to bait him with some bank notes, left with apparent carelessness on the table. From the adjoining room he watched the former thief struggle with himself, and renounce the temptation. Evidently Joseph was determined to live straight. Margaret received this news joyfully. And if she had any further doubts they were dispelled the next moment. Around the comer of the street came an excited rabble, Joseph in the lead, carrying a forlorn little dog with a tin can dangling from his tail. Evidently "the Kid" had saved the pup from his tormentors, and was bringing it to Ada. The following day Dunbar and I talked a long while with Mrs. Knickerbocker alone. He scarcely had gone when Madge Travers arrived. When she learned that Dunbar had come to ask Mrs. Knickerbocker's consent and co-operation in winning Margaret for his wife, she said little. But in her heart she was determined to save Our Mutual Girl from the man whom she instinctively disliked. Madge had grown immensely fond of Margaret.
