When they arrived at Nemi, Manisty as usual showed that he knew nothing of the practical arrangements of the day, which were always made for him by other people. 'What am I to do with these? he said, throwing his hands in despair towards the tea-baskets in the carriage. 'We can't drive beyond this And how are we to meet the others? when do they come? why aren't they here?
It took a little while to arrange mistresses, girls, and tea-baskets inside the two motors, but at last everything was packed in, and they started off in the direction of Bradstone. Other people were out enjoying Saturday's holiday, and cars, bicycles, and conveyances were frequent on the road.
Under the great trees more boats were moored in the shade, while their occupants brought out the tea-baskets from beneath the seats.
And sure enough, there in the dim light behind the farm-building, gathered in a group round the tea-baskets, laughing, and talking eagerly with each other, or with Aristodemo, was the whole lost party the two ladies and the two men. And beside the group, held by another peasant, was a white horse with a side-saddle. Manisty called. The new-comers turned, looked, then shouted exultant.
The detective, apparently one of Nature's gentlemen, picked up the scattered papers, and following Fritzing offered them him in the politest way imaginable just as Priscilla was saying she wanted to see what tea-baskets were like. "Sir," said the detective, taking off his hat, "I believe these are yours."
I'll hustle out and send her all the flowers in the world. Or, no. I've got it." He was already out of the house, hastening toward the subway. "I'll send her one of these lingerie tea-baskets with all kinds of baby pots of preserves and tea-balls and stuff.... Wonder what Dunleavy sent her?... Rats! I don't care. Jiminy! I'm happy! Me to Palm Beach to fly? Not a chance!"
