Although the Mitchells were proud of these successes they were as free from snobbishness as almost anyone could be. On the whole Mrs Mitchell had a slight weakness for celebrities, while Mr Mitchell preferred pretty women, or people who romped. It was merely from carelessness that the Ottleys had never been asked before.
'I'm sure I don't want you to be so vicarious as all that thanks awfully, said Hyacinth. 'At any rate, don't dress like a skeleton at the feast tomorrow, if you don't mind. I've asked the little Ottleys to dinner and, I want Charles to come. 'Oh, of course, if you expect Cecil Reeve!
Before the end of the evening Aylmer had arranged to take the Ottleys to see a play that was having a run. After this he dropped in to tea to discuss it and Bruce kept him to dinner. Day after day went on, and they saw him continually.
If you'll be nice to me. Will you? She was reading the letter again, and did not answer when he said good-bye and left the room. The Little Ottleys 'Edith, I want you to look nice tonight, dear; what are you going to wear? 'My Other Dress, said Edith. 'Is it all right? 'It ought to be.

'Sometimes I feel miserable and jealous. He smiled. 'Ah! What are you jealous of, Mavis? 'Oh, everything everyone all the people you meet. 'Is that all? Well, you're the only person I ever meet by appointment, at any rate. 'Well the Ottleys! His eye instinctively travelled to a photograph of Edith, all tulle and roses; a rather fascinating portrait. 'What about her? asked Mavis.
She thought that her friend talked like that so as to give the impression that she was not a fixture; that she was much sought after and had many friends, one or two of whom might insist on her leaving the Ottleys soon. Aylmer was at the little Eastcliff station to meet them.
But, doubtless, the most striking thing about her and what made her popular was her intense interest in other people. It went so far as to reach the very verge of being interference; but she was so pleasant that one could scarcely resent it either as curiosity or intrusion. Since she had stayed with the Ottleys, she appeared to think of no-one and nothing else in the world.
The Ottleys and Madame Frabelle were in the drawing-room awaiting their guests.
