Hullo, I thought I had lost you," said Suzanne, making her way through an obstructive knot of shoppers. "Where is Bertram?"
"I got separated from him long ago. I thought he was on ahead with you," said Eleanor. "We shall never find him in this crush."
Which turned out to be a true prediction.
"All our trouble and forethought thrown away," said Suzanne sulkily, when they had pushed their way fruitlessly through half a dozen departments.
"I can't think why you didn't grab him by the arm," said Eleanor; "I would have if I'd known him longer, but I'd only just been introduced. It's nearly four now, we'd better have tea."
Some days later Suzanne rang Eleanor up on the telephone.
"Thank you very much for the photograph frame. It was just what I wanted. Very good of you. I say, do you know what that Kneyght person has given me? Just what you said he would - a wretched fan. What? Oh yes, quite a good enough fan in its way, but still . . ."
"You must come and see what he's given me," came in Eleanor's voice over the 'phone.
