"No; I've been away." "Away?" "Yes; down at Cailsham staying with my mother." "Oh, very nice, I should think. I'm glad you're moving about a bit.
"No," said Sally quickly; "neither do I neither do I." He drank through his tea. One mouthful they were such tiny cups; but that is the way a man takes his entertainment. "Have a good time down at Cailsham?" he asked presently. He felt more at his ease. She was taking it well so much better than he expected. "Oh, not very good.
