We ought to see all kinds," I suggested, with a fine restraint. "You mean more worldly people," she said with her disconcerting directness. "Not necessarily worldly," I struggled on.
Rachel rushed to the point with a passionate directness that did her no discredit. "Why have you pretended all these months that you never were in Australia in your life? Why did you never tell me that you knew Alexander Minchin out there?"
