"I am afraid I have cut into your afternoon, but you will still have time for a game if you hurry." She laughed again, and moved over to the writing-table, where, among a litter of papers and writing materials, a couple of golf balls were acting as letter weights. A putter lay on the chair in front of the desk, and she took it up and swung it to and fro. "A nice club," she remarked.
The roaring putter was rushing back toward them at a speed that sounded foolishly desperate. "There's no sense in going like that," he said irritably. "I wonder what they were doing. I'll find out."
