Lucia," she called out, "I had nearly forgotten; will you give Maurice a message for me?"
"Oh, of course if there's a worse place now!" conceded Sir Roger. "I'll make up my mind when we arrive," observed Lady Deane. "Anyhow I shall rely on you, General." The General looked a little uncomfortable. "If Deane doesn't object ." "I shouldn't think of taking my wife to such places." Suddenly Dora Bellairs rushed up to them.
