Ned Silverton's relation to Stancy seemed, for instance, closer and less clear than any natural affinities would warrant; and both appeared united in the effort to cultivate Freddy Van Osburgh's growing taste for Mrs. Hatch.
"Bit thick!" agreed Archie, sympathetically. "Well, you'll probably be wanting to get to bed and all that sort of rot, so I may as well be popping, what! Cheerio!" A sudden gleam came into Miss Silverton's compelling eyes. "Wait!" "Eh?" "Wait! I've got an idea!" The wistful sadness had gone from her manner. She was bright and alert. "Sit down!" "Sit down?" "Sure.
It was past four already; and when a cab had dropped her at the quay, and she stood waiting for the gig to put off for her, she began to wonder what had been happening on the yacht.
