"I am sure it wouldn't do us any good out there to feel that you were all sitting in sackcloth and ashes. Besides, think how pleasant this is to come home to," he added, looking around the little table. "Jove! What a good-looking girl Miss Conyers is!" Lady Anselman nodded and lowered her voice a little. "She has just broken her engagement to Surgeon-Major Thomson. I wonder whether you know him?"
"You left Anselman to play our best ball. Jolly good hiding he gave us, too." "Went out for a spin," Granet explained, "and afterwards fell fast asleep in my room. Wonderful air, yours, you know," he went on. "I slept like a top last night," Major Harrison declared. "The first three nights I was home I never closed my eyes." Granet leaned across the table to the secretary.
I hope that you will be friends." The girl murmured something inaudible as she shook hands. The young soldier looked at her for a moment. His manner became almost serious. "I hope so, too," he said quietly. "Olive, come and make friends with my nephew if you can spare a moment from your young man," Lady Anselman continued. "Captain Granet Miss Olive Moreton.
"What, Sir Alfred Anselman?" she exclaimed. "Are you mad, Hugh?" "Not in the least," he assured her. "These are bald facts." "But Sir Alfred Anselman! He has done such wonderful things for the country. They all say that he ought to have been in the Cabinet. Hugh, you can't be serious!"
"You mustn't draw too gloomy a picture of your home," Lady Anselman said. "I have seen it when it was simply heavenly."
Geoffrey Anselman threw up the window and looked out. "Pretty hot stuff, isn't he Ronnie?" he asked. Granet glanced at his opponent, with his bent shoulders, his hard face, hooked nose and thin gold spectacles. "Yes," he admitted quietly, "he's too good for me."
A little further in the background, a young man in the uniform of a naval lieutenant was exchanging what seemed to be rather impressive chaff with a petite but exceedingly good-looking girl. Lady Anselman counted them twice, glanced at the clock and frowned.
Daniell I have met, and Lord Romsey may perhaps do me the honour of remembering me," he added, shaking hands with the Cabinet Minister. He turned to face Geraldine Conyers, who had been watching him with interest. Lady Anselman at once introduced them. "I know that you haven't met Miss Conyers because she has been asking about you. This is my nephew Ronnie, Geraldine.
