Two persons, saving themselves in a panic from such sudden deluge, almost ran into each other's arms. One was a rusty-looking old gentleman in a frock coat and a high hat; and the other was a young, or youngish woman of plain but prepossessing aspect, in a shirtwaist and a skirt of different shades of brown, with a satchel for guide books slung over her shoulder.
"Why Uncle Pausanias!" exclaimed the young woman.
"Why Mary!" exclaimed the old gentleman.
"I read about you in the paper this morning," said the niece, who it appeared was named Mary Shaft. "I was just wondering if I should see you, and where and how. I did not know you were here."
"You read about me in the paper?"
