``I'm extremely sorry, sir,'' said this emissary, ``that a little accident has occurred at the Miss du Lacs': a leak in the water-tank. It happened yesterday, and Mr. van der Luyden, who heard of it this morning, sent a housemaid up by the early train to get the Patroon's house ready. It will be quite comfortable, I think you'll find, sir; and the Miss du Lacs have sent their cook over, so that it will be exactly the same as if you'd been at Rhinebeck.''
Archer stared at the speaker so blankly that he repeated in still more apologetic accents: ``It'll be exactly the same, sir, I do assure you -- '' and May's eager voice broke out, covering the embarrassed silence: ``The same as Rhinebeck? The Patroon's house? But it will be a hundred thousand times better -- won't it, Newland? It's too dear and kind of Mr. van der Luyden to have thought of it.''
And as they drove off, with the maid beside the coachman, and their shining bridal bags on the seat before them, she went on excitedly: ``Only fancy, I've never been inside it -- have you? The van der Luydens show it to so few people. But they opened it for Ellen,
-190-it seems, and she told me what a darling little place it was: she says it's the only house she's seen in America that she could imagine being perfectly happy in.''
