Roger, feeling the Boodie's offering growing warm within his hands, mechanically opens it, even while carrying on his smiling tete-a-tete with Dulce, but soon the smiles vanish! There, on his open palm, lies a very serpent, a noisome reptile, a box of chocolate creams! A most improper word escapes him.
Then the child's questioning voice comes to her; across the bridge of past years she has been vainly trying to travel, and perforce she gives up her impossible journey, and returns to the sure but sorry present. Involuntarily she tightens her hand upon the Boodie's. After a little while the men come; all except Fabian. Their entrance is a relief to the girls, whatever it may be to Julia.
"There now, I have made an island for you," he says. Julia overhears him, and thinking this a capital opportunity to show off the Boodie's learning, says, proudly: "Now, darling, tell Dicky what an island really is." Dicky feels honestly obliged to her for following up his lead, and so breaking the awkward silence that has descended upon him and Portia.
