Nor was this all. Peter seemed to be constantly trying to get her to spend time with him. Though the real summer was fast coming, he had another dinner. He had a box at the theatre.

Come to-morrow evening at four, if that time is convenient to you. She purposely signed her Christian name only, purposely refrained from vouchsafing any personal news.

He did not know yet that some of these roughly clad individuals were as much at home in those same favorite hotels as was he himself. Likewise as he watched the passing citizens in the street he recalled the scene from the windows of his club at home a famous club on a famous avenue.
